A member asked:
Ablation may still have breakthrough episodes of "re-entry" which is the mechanism of the arrhythmia is there a cure for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is a reentrant: arrhythmia then it is most likely curable by ablation. If you are having recurrences then either it was not accurately diagnosed or treated or both with your first ablation. Seek a second opinion from an Electrophysiologist.
