Prospective Single‐Centre Experience of a Nurse‐Led Chair‐Based Pathway for Implantable Loop Recorder Explantation
A nurse-led, chair-based ILR explant pathway is safe, efficient, and highly acceptable to patients. It reduces reliance on cath lab infrastructure, eliminates procedure cancellations, optimizes resource utilization, and has significant implications for reducing waiting list backlogs. This model is reproducible and may inform best practice protocols in other centres.
