Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Octogenarians—Outcome and Impact for Future Same Day Discharge Strategies
CA for AF in octogenarians shows low procedural complications and reasonable efficacy. However, concomitant infections and pacemaker implantations occur in this cohort. Due to prolonged hospitalization after CA, especially in female and frail octogenarians, same-day discharge may not be suitable for this specific patient cohort.
