hello,
There are two modalities of treatment, one is medical which she is on and other is radio frequency ablation. This is entirely a individualized decision and she is a candidate for rfa is you are willing for it. It is successful in 90-95 % patients and recurs in remaining one. If you decide a medical management then she will be on life long medicine and dose of inderal needs to hike up as she had episode.
