Abstract: This article will review the recent progress made in surgical catheter for atrial tachycardia and determine the efficacy and safety of particularly radiofrequency catheter ablation. Comprehensive searching strategy through Well-known medical databases (MIDLINE/ PubMed, and Embase) searching articles that published in English language up to November 2017, and discussing the Surgical catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia, Mesh Terms used in search method as following; “atrial tachycardia”, “management”, “surgical ablation”. Because of the remarkable safety and efficacy of catheter ablation, it is currently taken into consideration as first line therapy for most types of supraventricular arrhythmias. These include AVNRT, AVRT, atrial tachycardia, and atrial flutter. It is anticipated that the desire for treating atrial fibrillation with ablation methods will likewise be recognized sometime throughout the next five years. Radiofrequency ablation is remarkably less invasive than the surgical procedure. It could be repeated in case of reappearance or in situation of emergence of new atrial tachycardias that could occur in patients with diffuse atrial illness. These encouraging outcomes of direct ablation of atrial substrate to treat atrial tachycardia are announcing a new era in ablation catheter techniques with the hope of curing even more complex atrial tachycardias.
