Outcomes of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Background: Limited and inconsistent information exist about how kidney function affects the outcomes of ablation procedures in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of AF ablation in a large national study across groups classified by varying levels of estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs). Methods: The Israeli Catheter Ablation Registry (ICAR) is a prospective, multicenter cohort that includes patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) during the years 2019-2021 for the treatment of AF. Primary study endpoints were the recurrence of AF and the need for repeat ablation at 12 months. Secondary endpoints were rehospitalization and procedural complications after AF ablation.
