title: Safety and feasibility of same day discharge in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation.
abstract: We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients who were discharged the same day and compared them with patients staying overnight. For most tachyarrhythmias, it is safe and feasible to discharge patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation on the same day.
