“…The earliest study, by Bubolz et al [45], examined LCs in pediatric cardiac interventions and found the success rates to improve significantly, to as high as 93% with experience of <100 cases, whereas fluoroscopy times improved to 34 ± 27 min. Gist et al [46] explored the LC for zero-fluoroscopy approach of cryoablation to correct atrioventricular non-reentry tachycardia in 62 consecutive patients.…”

LCs in cardiothoracic and vascular procedures are hugely variable depending on the procedure type, outcome measures, level of prior experience, and methods/statistics used. Uniformity in methods, variables, and statistical analysis is needed to derive meaningful comparisons of LCs. Acknowledgment and application of learning processes other than those reliant on volume-outcomes relationship will benefit LC research and training of surgeons.

NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme was set up in 1993 to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS.Initially, six HTA panels (pharmaceuticals, acute sector, primary and community care, diagnostics and imaging, population screening, methodology) helped to set the research priorities for the HTA Programme. However, during the past few years there have been a number of changes in and around NHS R&D, such as the establishment of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the creation of three new research programmes: Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO); New and Emerging Applications of Technology (NEAT); and the Methodology Programme.Although the National Coordinating Centre for Health Technology Assessment (NCCHTA) commissions r...

“…10 The Pediatric Electrophysiology Society noted a continuing decline in freedom from recurrence over the first three years, both after ablation of accessory pathways and modification of atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia. 10 Rates of success Acute success of the procedure means that the arrhythmic substrate is no longer demonstrable. It is usually possible, by noting the ease and means of abolition of the arrhythmia or its substrate, to predict the confidence that acute success will produce permanent cure.…”

“…Acute success of ablation rose from 70% to around 90% with increasing experience, and procedural and fluoroscopic times continued to fall beyond the first 100 cases. Bubolz et al 10 described the experience of two operators working in a single institution. They used success in the "long-term", defined as at least six months, rather than acute success as the outcome.…”
