Same-day discharge for AF ablation increases, improving efficiency over time

An analysis of single-center data showed same-day discharge after atrial fibrillation ablation increased from 2020 to 2021, with reduction in total time spent in-hospital and no change in readmission rates for adverse events.
Same-day discharge after AF ablation may be associated with improved patient satisfaction and reduced hospital resource utilization, Bruce A. Koplan, MD, MPH, FHRS, a cardiac electrophysiologist and assistant professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and colleagues wrote in an abstract presented at Heart Rhythm 2022.
