Costs, efficiency, and patient‐reported outcomes associated with suture‐mediated percutaneous closure for atrial fibrillation ablation: Secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial
SMC has been shown to decrease time to hemostasis and ambulation and facilitate earlier same-day discharge after AF ablation without an increase in direct or indirect costs.
