Hello, There are two modalities of treatment, one is medical which she is on and other is radio frequency ablation. This is entirely an 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 lifelong medicine and dose of federal needs to hike up as she had episode.
