Electrophysiologists can now perform cardiac ablation outside of a hospital setting. Groups such as the American College of Cardiology and Heart Rhythm Society have been pushing for this change for quite some time, pointing to the potential to cut costs and boost patient satisfaction.

Performing M-TEER and T-TEER on the same patient using a single guide catheter appears to be both safe and effective. Researchers shared their experience with this approach in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions.
