Abstract
Aim: To compare outcomes among patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator undergoing outpatient ventricular tachycardia (VT) catheter ablation using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) versus no ICE. Patients & methods: Patients were classified into ICE (n = 1143)/non-ICE (n = 1677) groups based on ICE procedure codes. Patients in each group were propensity matched on study covariates. Survival analyses were used to assess outcomes. To examine residual confounding, falsification outcomes were evaluated. Results: ICE patients had a 24% lower risk of all-cause readmissions, 24% lower risk of cardiovascular-related and 20% lower risk of VT-related readmissions compared with non-ICE patients. Falsification analyses for ICE use association were nonsignificant. Conclusion: Patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator undergoing VT ablation with ICE use had significantly lower likelihood of VT-related readmission.

Abstract
Aims The optimal use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) may reduce fluoroscopy time and procedural complications during endocardial ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. Due to limited evidence in this area, we conducted the first systematic literature review and meta‐analysis to evaluate outcomes associated with the use of ICE. Methods and Results Studies reporting the use of ICE during ablation procedures vs without ICE were searched using PubMed/MEDLINE. A meta‐analysis was performed on the 19 studies (2186 patients) meeting inclusion criteria, collectively representing a broad range of arrhythmia mechanisms. Use of ICE was associated with significant reductions in fluoroscopy time (Hedges' g −1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI] −1.81 to −0.32; P < .01), fluoroscopy dose (Hedges' g −1.27; 95% CI −1.91 to −0.62; P < .01), and procedure time (Hedges' g −0.35; 95% CI −0.64 to −0.05; P = .02) vs ablation without ICE. A 6.95 minute reduction in fluoroscopy time and a 15.2 minute reduction in procedure time was observed between the ICE vs non‐ICE groups. These efficiency gains were not associated with any decreased effectiveness or safety. Sensitivity analyses limiting studies to an atrial fibrillation (AF) only population yielded similar results to the main analysis. Conclusion The use of ICE in the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias is associated with significantly lower fluoroscopy time, fluoroscopy dose, and shorter procedure time vs ablation without ICE. These efficiency improvements did not compromise the clinical effectiveness or safety of the procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION By providing real-time monitoring of catheter-tissue interface and for complications, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) during catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) may improve outcomes. To test this hypothesis, we compared 12-month readmission rates (all-cause, cardiovascular [CV]-related, and VT-related), repeat ablation, and complications among patients with VT with structural heart disease undergoing ablation with versus without ICE. METHODS AND RESULTS Using the 2008-2017 IBM MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental databases, patients with a history of implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy (ICD/CRT-D) who underwent VT ablation with and without ICE use were identified. Propensity matching was performed and regression analysis was used to compare outcomes. After matching, 1324 patients were identified (ICE: 662; non-ICE: 662). The rate of 12-month VT-related readmission (18.13% vs 22.51%; P < .05) and repeat VT ablation (14.35% vs 19.34%; P = .02) postindex discharge were lower among patients in the ICE group compared with the non-ICE group, with a 24% lower risk of 12-month VT-related readmission (odds ratio [OR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58-0.99) and a 30% lower risk of repeat ablation (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.52-0.93) vs non-ICE group. The 12-month all-cause (44.56% vs 43.20%; P = .62) and CV-related readmissions (35.20% vs 32.93%; P = 0.38) and complication rates were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS VT ablation using ICE was associated with a lower likelihood of 12-month VT-related readmission and repeat ablation compared with non-ICE patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare clinical and economic outcomes of cesarean deliveries with skin closure through skin staples plus waterproof wound dressings (SSWWD) versus 2-octyl cyanoacrylate plus polymer mesh tape (2OPMT). We hypothesized that cesarean deliveries with skin closure through 2OPMT may be associated with a lower rate of wound complications and infections as compared with skin closure through SSWWD; we also hypothesized that, accordingly, 2OPMT may be associated with lower hospital length of stay (LOS), hospital costs, and all-cause readmissions as compared with SSWWD. METHODS Retrospective, observational study using a research database derived from administrative records routinely contributed by hundreds of hospitals in the USA. We queried the database for patients aged 18-49 years who had an in-hospital low transverse cesarean delivery between 1 January, 2012 and 31 March, 2017. Using records of medical supplies used during deliveries, we identified deliveries for which skin closure was performed by either SSWWD (SSWWD group) or 2OPMT (2OPMT group). Our primary study outcome was a composite endpoint of infection/wound complication diagnosis during the hospital stays in which the deliveries were performed. Our secondary outcomes included: length of stay (LOS) and total hospital costs for the hospital stays in which the deliveries were performed, and all-cause readmissions (30/60/90 days post discharge) to the same hospital in which the delivery was performed. We compared outcomes between propensity-score matched groups using regressions accounting for hospital-level clustering and non-Gaussian empirical outcome distributions. RESULTS Each group comprised 2133 patients (4266 total patients; mean age = 30.3 years [SD = 4.6]). Compared with the SSWWD group, the 2OPMT group had statistically significant lower rates of complications (infection, 0.7 versus 1.6%, p = .011; wound complication, 0.6 versus 1.3%, p = .036; composite, 0.9 versus 2.0%, p = .002), shorter LOS (mean = 3.5 days [SD = 1.6] versus 3.7 days [SD = 1.8], p = .007), and lower total hospital costs (mean = $8879 [SD = $3157] versus $9313 [SD = $3311], p = .025). Between-group differences for 30/60/90-day all-cause readmissions were statistically insignificant. CONCLUSIONS This large observational study is the first of its kind and provides evidence that cesarean delivery skin closure with 2OPMT is associated with lower rates of in-hospital infection and wound complications, lower LOS, lower total hospital costs as compared with SSWWD.
