Objective ablation data from Cartonet showed that the progression of trainees through CCEP training does not impact lesion-level measures of treatment efficacy (i.e., catheter stability, impedance drop). Data demonstrates increasing independence over a training fellowship. Analyses like these could be useful to inform individualized training programs and to track trainee's progress. It may also be a useful quality assurance tool for ensuring ongoing consistency of treatment delivered within training institutions.
