Catheter ablation of arrhythmias: 15 years of development: data from the Swedish Catheter Ablation Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The number of patients undergoing catheter ablation is continuously growing, and techniques are improving. However, studies reporting contemporary data on catheter ablations from large real-world populations are scarce. This study aims to report characteristics and outcomes of catheter ablation from 2006 to 2020, using a nationwide registry with virtually complete coverage.

Methods and results

From the Swedish Catheter Ablation Registry, patients >18 years of age undergoing catheter ablation from 2006 to 2020 were included. Periprocedural data and baseline characteristics were recorded retrospectively. A total of 61 243 procedures were included. There was an overall increase in the number of catheter ablations performed. From 2006, the number of atrial fibrillation (AF)
