Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation achieved a 90% overall cure rate for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, with a 95% success rate for AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia.
Why the study?

Supports ablation success in PSVT; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm durability and generalizability.
Sathe et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) (n=117). Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation was evaluated on Cure of PSVT. Radiofrequency catheter ablation achieved a 90% overall cure rate for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, with a 95% success rate for AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia.
