Key result
Surgery for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was successful in 94% of patients (97/103), with no early or late mortality and 0% clinical recurrence among those with successful procedures.
Why the study?
Is surgery a safe and curative therapy for patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?

Is surgery a safe and curative therapy for patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?
Surgery for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is highly successful and safe, with no mortality and no recurrences in successfully treated patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports surgery as potentially curative for refractory PSVT; leaves open need for randomized trials versus catheter ablation.
Vohra et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) (n=103). Surgery was evaluated on Clinical recurrence of PSVT after successful surgery. Surgery for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was successful in 94% of patients (97/103), with no early or late mortality and 0% clinical recurrence among those with successful procedures.
