The disease is completely curable. Catheter radiofrequency ablation is the most effective treatment for paroxysmal tachycardia, and the technique is now well established, with high success rates, few complications and rapid recovery.
However, the procedure also carries the risk of complications such as pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, pneumothorax, atrioventricular block and cardiac tamponade, and doctors will try to minimise the risk of complications as much as possible.
