Video Summary

This December 2025 AFib Ablation Registry update introduces new codes to track Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) devices used during concomitant AFib ablation procedures. Two device IDs were added: one for successful LAAO procedures and one for unsuccessful attempts. Coding requires capturing both the ablation catheter (e.g., 31-mm Fairwave Gen 2 pulsed field ablation catheter) and the LAAO device status. A procedure counts as an attempted LAAO when the ablation sheath is exchanged for an LAAO delivery system; no coding is needed if aborted before this exchange. Examples and scenarios illustrate accurate device coding during combined procedures.
