Trends in Utilization and Adverse Outcomes Associated with Transvenous Lead Removal in the United States.
CONCLUSIONS: -The overall complication rate in patients undergoing TLR was higher than previously reported. Female gender and device infections are associated with higher complications. Hospital volume was not associated with higher complication rates. The number of adverse events in the literature likely underestimates the actual number of complications associated with TLR.

Inhospital Complications Associated with Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in the United States between 2000-2010: Analysis of 93,801 Procedures.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall complication rate was 6.29% in patients undergoing AF ablation. There was a significant association between operator and hospital volume on adverse outcomes. This suggests a need for future research into identifying the safety measures in AF ablations and instituting appropriate interventions to improve overall AF ablation outcomes.
