Ablation: Ablation is frequently not successful on just one attempt. He may need another go at it. For WPW more than one bypass tract may be present and if it doesn't show itself at the original procedure it obviously won't get zapped.

Needs evaluation : If there is persistent tachycardia after an ablation either there is another arrhythmia focus or a recurrence of the same focus. Repeat ep testing might be needed after the holter/event monitor documents the tachycardia. Please see ep doc soon.
