A member asked:
If someone with wpw has vf which is defibrillator, and afterwards he has ablation, should he still have icd or not?

Unfortunately the: question you are asking requires more information than you have provided. If the VF was caused by rapid conduction through the bypass tract, then successful ablation should resolve the potential for recurrence provided there are no other reasons for his VF. Your health care provider should be able to answer your questions fully.
