    "abstract": "We aimed to measure patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and costs associated with same-day discharge (SDD) for atrial fibrillation\u00a0(AF) ablation and vascular closure device implantation in clinical practice.\nPROs were prospectively measured in 50 AF ablation patients, comparing complete vascular device closure (n\u2009=\u200925) versus manual compression hemostasis (n\u2009=\u200925). Health-system costs for SDD patients receiving vascular device closure were compared to matched controls with one-night stays who did not receive any closure device.\nProspectively enrolled patients receiving vascular device closure for AF ablation had a mean age of 65 years, 17% were female, with a mean CHA\nVascular closure for AF ablation improves patient experience in routine care. The use of vascular closure and SDD after AF ablation reduces several components of healthcare system costs, without an overall increase.",
