Data were verified by an independent clinical monitoring service and all complications were reviewed and adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee
Summary
From the *Division of Cardiology, Cardiac Electrophysiology Program, Sulpizio Family Cardiovascular Center, La Jolla, California, and the University of California Medical Center, San Diego, California, and †Division of Cardiothoracic surgery, Sulpizio Family Cardiovascular Center, La Jolla, California, and the University of California Medical Center, San Diego, California. More prospective studies are needed that have the potential both to guide decisionmaking for extraction centers and to identify long-term patient outcomes. In this issue of Heart Rhythm O2, Sharma and colleagues[6] provide an insightful prospective study aimed at understanding the safety and efficacy of the Cook Medical EvolutionÒ RL mechanical rotational TLE device (RELEASE study).
