Different focus: Assuming your av nodal re-entrant tract was well and fully ablated, and you're now having a different tachycardia, your cardiologist is suggesting that there is an abnormal spot in the atrium initiating rapid abnormal beats. May need different drugs or another procedure.

Atrial Tachy: Ectopic atrial tachycardia is cause by an abnormal focus in the atrium causing the heart rate to increased. This can certainly be ablated but complexity depends on the location - right vs. Left atrium. Medication may also be tried. Best of luck.

Ablation: you might be having recurrence of avnrt, another type of arrhythmia but first the episodes should be documented with tests like Holter, event recorder before jumping into conclusions.
