Clinical Research Published: Traverse Heart and Vascular

Congratulations to the following Traverse Heart and Vascular (THV) physicians who recently co-authored a clinical journal article — Logistics for Same-Day Discharge Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation and Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Implantation: Single-Center Experience From Munson Health Care — published in EP Lab Digest.

• Patrick Dillon, MD
• Robert Kennedy, MD
• John Coatney, MD
• Sina Jame, MD

Highlights:

• A review of THV’s single-center workflow for same-day discharge (SDD) following ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations, which has been found to be safe and easy to implement.
• While SDD has evolved to become our default process, decision-making individualized to the patient, close assessment and reassessment of postprocedural data, and preserved access to overnight observation remain critical to its success.
