Catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia

[HowMyHeartSings]

I was diagnosed with Atrial Tachycardia four months ago and I am still considering my EP's recommendation of catheter ablation. Is there any advantage in waiting for new ablation technology that's just on the horizon? I could cope with waiting if it was worthwhile to do so - I know there was some kind of conference that included patients regarding all these issues recently - can anyone share any insights? Also one of my concerns was the procedure possibly creating new arrhythmias and potential damage to the nerves - is this an unlikely occurrence? Thanks so much for your help.

There is always a risk of an ablation not working , no doubt with any new technology too. As any EP / cardio would explain. I guess it's really down to how much your tachycardia is affecting your qol ,you say you don't mind waiting. In my own case countless visits to A&E with 10 adenosine conversions , waiting was a no brainer I had the ablation done asap which cured the svt .
