Trends in safety of catheter-based electrophysiology procedures in the last 2 decades: A meta-analysis
Heart Rhythm(2024)
摘要
Background
Rapid technologic development and expansion of procedural expertise have led to widespread proliferation of catheter-based electrophysiology procedures. It is unclear whether these advances come at cost to patient safety.
Objective
This meta-analysis aimed to assess complication rates after modern electrophysiology procedures during the lifetime of the procedures.
Methods
A comprehensive search was performed to identify relevant data published before May 30, 2023. Studies were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: prospective trials or registries, including comprehensive complications data; and patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation, ventricular tachyarrhythmia ablation, leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation, and percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion. Pooled incidences of procedure-related complications were individually assessed by random effects models to account for heterogeneity. Temporal trends in complications were investigated by clustering trials by publication year (2000–2018 vs 2019–2023).
Results
A total of 174 studies (43,914 patients) met criteria for analysis: 126 studies of atrial fibrillation ablation (n = 24,057), 25 studies of ventricular tachyarrhythmia ablation (n = 1781), 21 studies of leadless cardiac pacemaker (n = 8896), and 18 studies of left atrial appendage occlusion (n = 9180). The pooled incidences of serious procedure-related complications (3.49% [2000–2018] vs 3.05% [2019–2023]; P < .001), procedure-related stroke (0.46% vs 0.28%; P = .002), pericardial effusion requiring intervention (1.02% vs 0.83%; P = .037), and procedure-related death (0.15% vs 0.06%; P = .003) significantly decreased over time. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of vascular complications over time (1.86% vs 1.88%; P = .888).
Conclusion
Despite an increase in cardiac electrophysiology procedures, procedural safety has improved over time.
