Key result
Japanese registry reports outcomes and acute complications for ~81,000 catheter ablation procedures.
Why the study?
The registry was conducted to collect real-world details on target arrhythmias, ablation procedures, outcomes, and acute complications across Japan.
Observational (n=80,795)
Yes
The 2019 J-AB registry report provides a comprehensive overview of over 80,000 catheter ablation procedures in Japan, detailing real-world practices, outcomes, and acute complications.
Supplies real-world Japanese ablation benchmarks; extends prior registries but leaves open generalizability and practice impact.
The Japanese Catheter Ablation (J-AB) registry, started in August 2017, is a voluntary, nationwide, multicenter, prospective, observational registry, performed by the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society (JHRS) in collaboration with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center using a Research Electronic Data Capture system. The purpose of this registry is to collect the details of target arrhythmias, the ablation procedures, including the type of target arrhythmias, outcomes, and acute complications in the real-world settings. During the year of 2019, we have collected a total of 80 795 procedures (mean age of 65.2 years and 66.4% male) from 425 participant hospitals. Detailed data are shown in Figures and Tables.
