PO-05-004 CAUSES AND OUTCOMES OF EARLY READMISSIONS AFTER VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA ABLATION

Patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) who require VT catheter ablation are a population at high risk for readmissions. The contemporary causes and outcomes of readmission after not well-established. This study aimed to identify the within 30 days procedure. Using all-payer, nationally representative Nationwide Readmissions Database, our included patients aged 18 years or older underwent between 2017 2019. On basis International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification, we identified categorized readmissions by organ systems analyzed their outcomes. Out 3,170 ablation, 446 (14.1%) were readmitted most common cause was cardiac (n=326, 73.1%), followed infectious (n=31, 7.0%), neurological (n=15, 3.4%), renal (n=13, 2.9%), gastrointestinal (n=9, 2.0%), respiratory vascular endocrinological (n=5, 1.1%) hematological events. Among causes-related readmission, recurrent (65.0%), congestive heart failure (CHF) (18.1%) etiologies. these readmissions, due CHF had highest rate in mortality (8.47%), prolonged length hospital stay more than 7 (42.37%), non-home discharge (33.9%), cost hospitalization. Recurrent early However, poorest outcome during readmission.
