The overall in-hospital complication rate for AF ablation in the US from 2000-2010 was 6.29%, and adverse outcomes were significantly associated with operator and hospital volume.
The overall complication rate was 6.29% in patients undergoing AF ablation. There was a significant association between operator and hospital volume and adverse outcomes. This suggests a need for future research into identifying the safety measures in AF ablations and instituting appropriate interventions to improve overall AF ablation outcomes.
