What are the contemporary trends in same-day versus deferred discharge after left atrial appendage occlusion?
This study describes the temporal trends and hospital-level variation in the adoption of same-day discharge following left atrial appendage occlusion.
Same-day LAAO discharge adoption is rising with hospital variation; observational data leave safety questions open for prospective trials.
