Same‐Day Discharge After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in the United States
Rates of SDD following AF ablation markedly increased over time, corresponding with onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with substantial hospital variation. SDD patients had fewer comorbid conditions and were less likely to have persistent AF. Postprocedural complication rates with SDD were low and comparable with patients hospitalized overnight.
