title: ABLATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PAROXYSMAL TACHYCARDIA.
abstract: In this report, the collaborative efforts of cardiologists and surgeons to provide optimal treatment of patients with rhythm disturbances are discussed, along with definitive advances in new surgical techniques to relieve supraventricular tachycardia and paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. Some of the techniques described are destined to find a permanent place in the surgeon's armamentarium.
