Does operative therapy successfully treat supraventricular tachycardia?
Surgical treatment for supraventricular tachycardia, particularly Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, is highly successful with zero mortality and low major complication rates.
Guiraudon et al. (1986) conducted an observational in Supraventricular tachycardia (n=208). Operative therapy (map guided or direct surgery) was evaluated on Surgical success, mortality, and complications. Operative therapy for supraventricular tachycardia was generally successful with 0% mortality, though 5 patients experienced surgical failure and 6 required reoperation.
