Dear Doctors, My sister is 4 month pregnant and has cardiac disease (Supra Ventricular Techy Cardia). She is being treated conservatively due to high risk because of pregnancy. As per cardiologist, ablation [procedure to cure SVTC] can only be performed post-delivery. I want to know, is it correct that she is on high risk if ablation gets performed before delivery. Another question is, if she continue with conservative treatment [oral medicine] then how complicated her delivery would be due to this disease? Is there any risk to delivery?

Radio frequency ablation procedure is harmful for the foetus perse and so it has not to be performed during pregnancy and if she is on oral medication than only thing is that she won't get labor pains and so will have to go for caesarean section delivery.
