AFIB-0220 - Inclusion Criteria-0220

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the February 2020 Monthly Case Scenario video, the AFib Ablation Registry discusses the inclusion criteria for procedures. The video presents a case where a patient's AFib Ablation Procedure is aborted due to complications during transeptal puncture. An emergency pericardiocentesis is performed, and the patient is then transferred to the ICU. The question posed is whether this aborted procedure should be included in the Registry. The answer is No, as procedures that are aborted or canceled without attempting ablation should not be included. However, if an ablation was attempted before the procedure was aborted, it should be included. The Submission Population Inclusion Criteria document provides further guidance on this. The video concludes by thanking viewers for reviewing the case scenario. No credits were provided.
