Abstract

Background

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) use can lead to early detection of periprocedural complications and may improve patient outcomes by providing real‐time visualization of catheter location and the treatment area during cardiac ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF).

Objective

Examine complications and 12‐month healthcare use among patients with AF undergoing CA with versus without ICE use during the procedure in a real‐world setting.

Methods

The 2015–2020 IBM MarketScan® Database was used to identify non‐elderly adults (age 18–64 years) undergoing CA for AF. Patients were classified into ICE/non‐ICE groups based on the presence or absence of ICE procedure codes. Patients in each group were matched on study covariates using propensity scores. Peri‐procedural complications, 12‐month cardiovascular (CV) or AF‐related inpatient admission, repeat CA, and cardioversion were compared using a Cox proportional hazard model.

Results

1371 patients were identified in each study cohort (ICE and non‐ICE) after propensity matching. Patients who had CA with ICE had a significantly lower rate of complications than those without (2.9% vs. 5.8%; p < .001). The risk of complications was 50% lower with ICE use (hazard ratio [HR] 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34–0.72). For assessment of 12‐month healthcare utilization, 1250 patients were identified in each cohort after propensity matching. ICE use was associated with a 36% lower risk of 12‐month repeat ablation (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.49–0.83). No differences in CV‐ or AF‐related inpatient admission and cardioversion were observed.

Conclusion

Among patients with AF, the use of ICE during an ablation procedure was associated with lower incidence of complications and repeat ablation.

1. INTRODUCTION

The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to rise as the overall population ages. 1 By the middle of the century, the number of individuals with AF is expected to reach 14 million in Europe, 2 and as high as 16 million in the United States (US). 3 The burden of AF in the Asia‐Pacific region is projected to be particularly high with an estimated 72 million patients by 2050. 4 Timely management and treatment of patients with AF using safe and effective approaches are critical in alleviating the associated burden of disease.

Recommended treatments for AF include antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs), and, for those who are refractory or intolerant to AADs, catheter ablation (CA). 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 Studies have shown that CA may reduce long‐term AF recurrence and can be associated with clinically meaningful improvement in symptoms and quality of life. 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) provides high‐resolution real‐time visualization of cardiac structures, continuous monitoring of catheter location, and early recognition of procedural complications, such as pericardial effusion, thrombus formation, or cardiac perforation during CA. 15 , 16 Studies have previously suggested that CA outcomes may be further improved with the use of ICE. 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 In one such report, patients with AF who underwent an ablation procedure without ICE had five times higher risk of cardiac perforation compared to those who had the procedure with ICE. 16

Though studies have demonstrated the incremental safety benefit associated with ICE use, a comprehensive assessment of both long‐term (12‐month) outcomes and safety end points in a large real‐world sample of patients are lacking. To address this gap in the literature, we performed analysis of a nationally representative administrative claims database to evaluate differences in complications and 12‐month AF‐related healthcare use among AF patients undergoing CA with versus without ICE in a contemporary cohort.

2. METHODS

2.1. Data source

The 2015–2020 IBM MarketScan® Commercial Database, 26 which is a nationally representative medical and prescription drug insurance claims database for more than 138 million people with primary coverage through privately insured health plans in the US, was used for study purposes. The database includes information on inpatient admissions, outpatient services, prescription drugs, enrollment, and costs associated with healthcare services. The New England Institutional Review Board (IRB) determined that studies conducted in IBM MarketScan® are exempt from study‐specific IRB review as these studies do not involve active human subject participation.

2.2. Study population

Patients aged 18–64 years old undergoing CA for AF treatment were identified, with first such procedure considered as index procedure. Patients were required to be continuously enrolled for 12 months before the index procedure. Patients were excluded if, in the 12‐month pre‐index period, they had a CA procedure with a primary or secondary diagnosis of AF, had surgical ablation, left atrial appendage occlusion, valvular procedure, or atrioventricular node ablation.

2.3. Study variables

The main independent variable of interest was the use of ICE during CA procedure defined by the presence or absence of ICE procedure codes during index ablation admission. Other study covariates included: age; sex; Elixhauser comorbidity score 28 ; CHA₂DS₂‐VASc score 29 ; sleep apnea; AAD use (amiodarone, dofetilide, flecainide, propafenone, ibutilide, sotalol, dronedarone, quinidine, and disopyramide); anticoagulant use (warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, betrixaban); geographic region (Northeast, North Central, South, West, and Unknown); insurance plan type (basic or comprehensive plan, consumer‐directed health plan/high deductible health plan, exclusive provider organization/health maintenance organization, point of service plan, preferred provider plan, or unknown insurance type); and procedure year (2016–2020).

2.4. Study outcomes

Complications (assessed among patients with index ablation between 2016 and 2020), including acute coronary syndrome, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, thromboembolism, transient ischemic attack, phrenic nerve damage, pericarditis, bleeding, vascular access complications, blood transfusion, laryngospasm, mandibular joint dislocation, vagal nerve injury, were assessed within 7 days post‐discharge. Cardiac perforation was assessed within 30 days and atrioesophageal fistula and severe pulmonary vein stenosis within 90 days. A composite of all complications was also included. Appendix B lists the codes used to assess complications.

Healthcare utilization was assessed within 1 year of CA (among patients with index ablation between 2016 and 2019 [to allow 12‐month follow‐up]). Utilization was assessed in the full 12 months after CA and also in the 4–12 months after CA following a standardized 90‐day “blanking period” to avoid capturing early recurrences per Heart Rhythm Society guidelines. 6 Healthcare utilization outcomes included: AF‐related readmission, cardiovascular (CV)‐related readmission, repeat CA, or electrical cardioversion. Appendix A lists the codes considered for study attrition and outcomes.

2.5. Statistical analysis

Bivariate tests comparing the ICE and non‐ICE groups on study variables were performed using Chi‐square tests of independence for categorical variables and analysis of variance tests for continuous variables. Patients who underwent CA with versus without ICE were matched on study covariates using propensity scores. Multivariable logistic regression was used to fit the propensity score model. Balance of study covariates was assessed using standardized mean difference (SMD). Time‐to‐event analyses were used, with patients right‐censored if they died, were lost to follow‐up (defined as gap of >30 days in enrollment), or reached the end of follow‐up time without an outcome of interest. Hazard ratios (HRs) from Cox regression models were used to assess the relationship between ICE use and study outcomes.

The threshold for statistical significance was a p‐value < .05. We performed multiplicity adjustment by controlling for the false discovery rate using the Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) procedure. All analyses were conducted using R for Windows, version 4.0.2. 30

3. RESULTS

3.1. Complications

A total of 19 368 patients met the criteria for the assessment of complications, with 17 997 (92.9%) in the ICE group and 1371 (7.1%) in the non‐ICE group. Supporting Information: Table S1 shows the study population attrition for the cohort. Table 1 lists the patient baseline characteristics for the ICE and non‐ICE groups before and after propensity score matching. Around a third of patients in both groups (pre‐ and post‐matching) were aged 61 years and above, and approximately 26% were female. Before matching, a significantly higher proportion of patients in the ICE cohort had sleep apnea as compared to those in the non‐ICE cohort (41.5% vs. 35.7%, p < .001, SMD = 0.120); however, after matching, no significant difference was observed (35.7% vs. 36.0%, p = .905, SMD = 0.006). A significantly higher proportion of patients in the ICE cohort had prior AAD (64.9% vs. 51.0%, p < .001, SMD = 0.277) and anti‐coagulant use (77.7% vs. 66.6%, p < .001, SMD = 0.235) in the pre‐match cohort. After matching, no significant differences were observed among the ICE and non‐ICE cohorts on prior AAD (51.0% vs. 50.8%, p = .939, SMD = −0.004) and anti‐coagulant use (66.6% vs. 68.5%, p = .308, SMD = 0.040). Overall, no significant differences on study covariates were observed among the ICE and non‐ICE cohort after propensity matching.

Patients who underwent CA with ICE were less likely to experience acute coronary syndrome in the 7‐day period after the procedure compared to those who had CA without ICE (0.7% vs. 2.8%, p < .001). The two groups did not differ significantly for any other complication. Overall, patients who had CA with ICE had a significantly lower rate of composite complication compared to those who had CA without ICE (2.9% vs. 5.8%, p < .001). Results from regression analysis showed that ICE patients had a 50% lower risk of composite complication end point compared to non‐ICE patients (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.34–0.72, log‐rank p < .001). Table 2 lists the complication results for both groups.

Chi‐square was used for statistical significance testing; for all other outcomes with cell sizes less than 5, Fisher's exact test was used.

3.2. AF‐related healthcare utilization

A total of 16 524 patients met the criteria for the assessment of 12‐month healthcare utilization, with 15 274 (92.4%) in the ICE group and 1250 (7.6%) in the non‐ICE group. Table S2 shows the study population attrition for this cohort. Table 3 lists the patient baseline characteristics for both groups before and after propensity score matching. In the pre‐match cohort, significant differences were observed among the ICE and non‐ICE cohorts on sleep apnea, AAD use, anti‐coagulant use, region, and year of procedure. However, after matching, no significant differences were observed among the ICE and non‐ICE cohort on any study covariate.

Patients in the ICE and non‐ICE groups did not differ in rates of 12‐month inpatient admissions (0–12 months CV‐related inpatient admission rate: 9.4% vs. 10.5%, log‐rank p = .394; 0–12 months AF‐related inpatient admission rate: 4.9% vs. 6.0%, log‐rank p = .240). However, patients who had CA with ICE had a significantly lower rate of repeat ablation in the 12‐month postprocedure period compared to those who had CA without ICE (7.4% vs. 11.5%, log‐rank p = .001). No differences were observed in the rate of electrical cardioversion (10.1% vs. 8.7%, log‐rank p = .160). For all healthcare utilization outcomes, no differences were observed among the ICE and non‐ICE patients in the postblanking 4‐ to 12‐month period. Table 4 lists the results for the 0–12 and 4–12 months healthcare utilization outcomes for the ICE and non‐ICE groups.

Benjamini–Hochberg adjusted critical value after correction for multiple comparisons (total number of tests considered for adjustment = 8; false discovery rate of 20%). After BH adjustment, the largest p value which was lower than the BH adjusted critical value was identified. We then designated every p value smaller than this p value as significant. The adjusted values that are bolded represent significant results.

Results from regression analysis revealed no significant differences in 0–12 months or postblanking 4–12 months CV‐ and AF‐related inpatient admissions and electrical cardioversion among the two study groups. Patients who had CA with ICE had a 36% lower risk of 12‐month repeat ablation compared to those who had CA without ICE (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.49–0.83). The two groups did not differ significantly in the rate of repeat ablation for the postblanking 4‐ to 12‐month period (Table 4).

4. DISCUSSION

In this real‐world study of non‐elderly adult patients with AF, those who underwent an ablation procedure with ICE were 50% less likely to have complication compared to patients who underwent ablation without ICE. Further, patients who underwent CA with ICE had a 36% lower risk of repeat CA in the 12‐month postablation period compared to those who had CA without ICE. Other healthcare utilization outcomes, including inpatient admissions and electrical cardioversion, were not significantly different among the ICE and non‐ICE groups.

Several studies have documented the potential for ICE use to reduce ablation‐related complications by allowing for visualization of the treatment area and early detection of periprocedural complications. 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 In their analysis of a US hospital discharge database, Isath et al. observed a 28% lower risk of mortality and a 52% lower risk of procedural complications among patients undergoing AF ablation with versus without ICE use, 17 which aligns well with our results for overall complications.

Our finding that patients undergoing CA with ICE are at significantly lower risk for acute coronary syndrome is also notable. To better understand this difference, we examined the distribution of acute coronary syndrome diagnosis codes among the ICE and non‐ICE cohort. Among patients in the ICE cohort that had experienced acute coronary syndrome (n = 10), 40% (4/10) had the ICD‐10‐CM code I21.3 (representing “ST elevation MI [STEMI] of unspecified site”), 30% (3/10) had the code I21.4 (non‐ST elevation MI [NSTEMI]), and the remaining patients were identified based on diagnosis codes I20.0 (Unstable angina), I21.09 (ST elevation MI [STEMI] involving other coronary artery of anterior wall), I21.02 (ST elevation MI [STEMI] involving left anterior descending coronary artery), and I24.0 (acute coronary thrombosis not resulting in MI). Among the 38 patients in the non‐ICE cohort that experienced acute coronary syndrome, almost 45% (17/38) were identified based on diagnosis code I21.4 (non‐ST elevation MI [NSTEMI]), 18% (7/38) were identified based on diagnosis code I21.19 (ST elevation MI [STEMI] involving other coronary artery of inferior wall), 13% (5/38) were identified with code I20.0 (unstable angina), and the remaining were identified based on diagnosis codes I24.8 (other forms of acute ischemic heart disease), I21.29 (ST elevation MI [STEMI] involving other sites), I21.3 (ST elevation MI [STEMI] of unspecified site), I21.09 (ST elevation MI [STEMI] involving other coronary artery of anterior wall), I21.9 (acute MI [unspecified]), and I22.1 (subsequent STEMI inferior wall). Though rare, acute coronary syndrome represents a potential life‐threatening complication that could occur during CA due to injury to the vascular wall. Having tools such as ICE that allow target precision during ablation could alleviate the risk of coronary artery syndrome. The authors hypothesize such events as thromboembolism with resultant coronary thrombosis or alternatively inadvertent aortic puncture leading to thrombus formation and coronary event to be two complications that could be averted with appropriate visualization during CA. The fact that no significant differences were observed on any other specific complications of interest may partially reflect the inadequate power due to the limited sample size.

Differences in repeat ablation rates occurred with the inclusion of the blanking period suggesting potential differential in lesion quality in patients undergoing their CA with versus without ICE. To better understand this variation, we examined the difference in the rate of repeat ablation among the ICE and non‐ICE cohort during the blanking period (0–3 months). A significantly lower rate of repeat ablation was observed during the blanking period among patients in the ICE cohort as compared to those in the non‐ICE cohort (2.2% vs. 5.8%, p < .0001). No difference in AF‐related hospitalization rates (2.6% vs. 3.7%, p = .1073) or cardioversion (0.8% vs 0.2%, p = .0952) was seen during this time among patients in the ICE and non‐ICE cohort. These differences are likely indicative of more accurate visualization of catheter‐tissue contact with ICE use, especially in areas of complex anatomy to ensure optimal lesion creation, which potentially reduces reconduction once the edema subsides within the blanking period. As in the current study, a Medicare fee‐for‐service claims study of AF ablation by Steinberg et al. found that ICE use was associated with a lower risk of repeat ablation (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.37–0.92). 31 Though cost was not evaluated as an outcome in the current study, it is likely that improved effectiveness of CA associated with ICE use as observed in our study, may lead to lower healthcare costs for AF management among these patients as compared to those who undergo CA without ICE. Further studies are warranted to explore the potential economic benefits of the use of ICE during ablation procedures.

While ICE use for AF ablation has increased over time, evidence indicates that its adoption has been higher in the US and Canada compared to other countries. In a survey of 60 experts, 53% reported routinely using ICE; however, 87% of members from the United States and Canada indicated using ICE as compared to only 13% of those from other countries. 6 The reasons for such wide regional variation in adoption of ICE for ablation are not fully understood and may be due to some underlying economic factors. Our study, together with evidence from prior studies, suggests that patients undergoing an ablation procedure with ICE are likely to benefit from a safety and effectiveness perspective. Further, as healthcare dollars are limited, improved outcomes with ICE use are likely to translate into improved cost savings over the long term for patients, providers, and payers.

5. LIMITATIONS

This study has several limitations. Since we relied on administrative claims data, which are typically generated for insurance claim adjudication purposes, important procedural details including ablation strategy, use of mapping systems, type of ablation catheter used, and procedure or fluoroscopy time were missing and could not be studied. Another confounding factor that could influence outcomes among patients undergoing ablation is hospital or provider volume. As hospital or provider identifiers are not included in the database studied, we could not control for the effect of volume in our analyses. Further, healthcare utilization was used as a proxy for clinical AF recurrence. Given the database used does not include elderly individuals, we had to restrict the upper age for our sample to 64 years of age. As such, our results may not be generalizable to elderly patients or non‐elderly adult patients with non‐private insurance (government‐sponsored insurance or self‐pay). Given the use of claims data, coding errors, missing data, and reporting bias may also be present and could have influenced study results.

6. CONCLUSION

In our analysis of administrative claims data for non‐elderly adult patients with AF in the US, those who had an ablation procedure with ICE had significantly lower risk of having a complication and lower likelihood of needing a repeat ablation as compared to those who had the procedure without ICE. Our results suggest ICE use is associated with the significant clinical benefit of improved safety and effectiveness in AF ablation procedures. Further consideration should be given to the cost impact of these improved outcomes on overall AF management among patients undergoing ablation procedure.
