What is Randomized prospective evaluation of same-day discharge after cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation: results of the EASY PVI study about?
Background With advancements in technology and ablation techniques, catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become safer with time. In the past, standard-of-care recommended overnight stay for outpatient procedures. As safety has improved and procedure times have shortened, some centers have allowed for same-day discharge. We report the results of a multi-center, randomized clinical trial investigating the safety of same-day discharge post-cryoballoon ablation. Methods Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with the Medtronic Arctic Advance cryoballoon at 3 US centers. Six hours after the procedure, patients were randomized to either stay overnight or be discharged same day. Results A total of 49 patients were enrolled. Two patients were withdrawn prior to randomization. One patient chose to withdraw after randomization. Of the 22 patients randomized to same-day discharge and the 23 patients randomized the overnight stay, no significant adverse outcomes were reported in either group. Occurrence of adverse events did not differ significantly between the two groups. Procedure time and fluoroscopy time did not
