Finding sideline benefits-Of pandemics and same-day-discharge following rotational atherectomy

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2021 Oct;98(4):689-690. doi: 10.1002/ccd.29909.

Abstract

The occurrence of same-day discharge following elective rotational atherectomy cases in England and Wales during 2007-2014 increased from approximately 7 to 36%. High-volume centers and transradial approach were associated with more likelihood of same-day discharge. As compared with patients who stayed for overnight observation following elective rotational atherectomy, those discharged the same day as the procedure had a similar rate of 30-day mortality (0.35 and 0.50%, respectively; p = 0.409).
