Left atrial ablation complication and readmission rates were similar between SD and ND discharge practices. Hypertension and procedural duration were associated with increased complication rates irrespective of discharge strategy. These data, which represent the first side-by-side comparison of discharge strategy, suggests same-day discharge is safe and feasible for left atrial ablation procedures.
