Abstract
Introduction and objectives The results of the 2021 Spanish catheter ablation registry are presented. Methods Data collection was carried out retrospectively by filling in and sending a specific form by the participating centers. Results Data from 93 centers (65 public, 28 private) were analyzed. A total of 17941 ablation procedures were reported with a mean of 193 ± 133 clases per centre. Recovery of activity from SARS-CoV-2 pandemic lockdown has led to a notable increase in the number of procedures (+2772 procedures, +18%) despite a small decrease in participating centers (4 centers less than in 2020). Atrial fibrillation ablation continues to be the leading procedure, with 5848 procedures (32,6%). Together with ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (3766; 21%) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (3132; 17,5%) they constitute the 3 most frequently approached substrates. The total success rate reported (94%) is similar to previous years with a similar rate of complications (2%) and mortality (0.07). A total of 401 procedures were performed in pediatric patients (3,8%). Conclusions The Spanish catheter ablation registry systematically and continuously collects the national activity, which has recovered significantly from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic impact in 2020. Success rate for 2021 remains high, with a low complication rate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This article reports the results of the 2020 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry, a year marked by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. METHODS Data were collected retrospectively through completion and return of a specific form by the participating centers. RESULTS Data from 97 centers (67 public, 30 private) were analyzed. A total of 15 169 ablation procedures were reported with a mean of 155 ± 117 and a median [interquartile range] of 115 [62-227]. Because of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, both procedures and participating centers markedly decreased (-3380 procedures, -18%) and there were 5 centers less than in 2019. The most common procedure continued to be atrial fibrillation ablation (4513; 30%), well ahead of the remaining substrates, followed by ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (3188; 21%), and intranodal re-entry tachycardia (2808; 18%). Ablation of these 3 substrates continued to form the bulk of the procedures. The total success rate was slightly lower than in previous years (88%) with a similar complication rate (n = 309; 2%) and mortality (n = 7; 0.04%). A total of 243 procedures were performed in pediatric patients (1.6%). CONCLUSIONS The Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry systematically and continuously reflects the national trajectory, which, in 2020, was markedly affected by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Although slightly lower than in previous years, the success rate remained high, with a low complication rate.Full English text available from:www.revespcardiol.org/en.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This report presents the findings of the 2019 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS Data collection was retrospective. A standardized questionnaire was filled by each of the participant centers. RESULTS Data sent by 102 centers were analyzed, with a total number of ablation procedures performed of 18 549 (the highest historically reported in this registry) for a mean of 181.9 ± 137.0 and a median of 144.5 procedures per center. The ablation targets most frequently treated were atrial fibrillation (n = 5164; 27.8%), cavotricuspid isthmus (n = 3925; 21.1%) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n = 3768; 20.3%). A new peak is observed in the ablation of atrial fibrillation, increasing the distance from the other substrates. The overall success rate was again 91%. The rate of major complications was 1.9%, and the mortality rate was 0.03%. An electroanatomic mapping system was used in 44.5% of all procedures, with contact force-sensing irrigated catheters become the preferred for complex substrates, as atrial fibrillation (84.8%) or ventricular tachycardia (around 90%). 1.5% of the ablations were performed in pediatric patients. CONCLUSIONS The Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry enrolls systematically and uninterruptedly the ablation procedures performed in Spain, showing a progressive increasing in the number of ablations over the years with a high success rate and low percentages of complications.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This report describes the findings of the 2017 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS Data collection was retrospective. A standardized questionnaire was completed by each of the participating centers. RESULTS A total of 15 284 ablation procedures were performed by 98 institutions (the highest number of ablations and institutions historically reported in this registry), with a mean of 156±126 and a median of 136 procedures per center. For the first time, the most frequently treated ablation target was atrial fibrillation (n=3457; 22.6%), followed by cavotricuspid isthmus (n=3449; 22.5%) and atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (n=3429; 22.4%). The overall success rate was 87%. The rate of major complications was 2.6%, and the mortality rate was 0.09%. The percentage of procedures performed without fluoroscopic support increased to 6% of all ablations, and 2.3% of all ablations were performed in pediatric patients. CONCLUSIONS The Spanish Ablation Catheter Registry systematically and uninterruptedly collects data on the ablation procedures performed in Spain, revealing that both the number of ablations and the number of centers performing them has progressively increased, while maintaining a high success rate and a low percentage of complications.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This report describes the findings of the 2016 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected by means of a standardized questionnaire completed by each of the participating centers. RESULTS Data were collected from 83 centers. A total of 13 482 ablation procedures were performed (the highest historically reported in this registry), with a mean of 162.4 ± 116 and a median of 136 procedures per center. The most frequently treated ablation targets were atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (n = 3058; 22.7%), atrial fibrillation (n = 2953; 21.9%), and cavotricuspid isthmus (n = 2892; 21.4%). There was a peak in ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation, which, for the first time in this registry, became the second most treated substrate. After exclusion of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia with underlying heart disease, the overall success rate was 86%. The rate of major complications was 2.3%, and the mortality rate was 0.05%. In all, 2.7% of the ablations were performed in pediatric patients. CONCLUSIONS The Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry systematically and uninterruptedly records the ablation procedures performed in Spain, showing a progressive rise in the number of ablations performed, with a high success rate and a low percentage of complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This report presents the findings of the 2015 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS For data collection, each center was allowed to choose freely between 2 systems: retrospective, requiring the completion of a standardized questionnaire, and prospective, involving reporting to a central database. RESULTS Data were collected from 82 centers. A total of 12 863 ablation procedures were performed, for a mean of 157±119 and a median of 138 procedures per center. The ablation target most frequently treated was cavotricuspid isthmus (n=2992 [23.2%]), followed by atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n=2966 [23%]) and atrial fibrillation (n=2640 [20.5%]). There were fewer ablation procedures for atrial tachycardia, idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and accessory pathways, while those for ventricular tachycardia in ischemic cardiomyopathy remained steady. The overall success rate, excluding atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in cardiomyopathy, was 87.5%, the rate of major complications was 2%, and the mortality rate was 0.08%. CONCLUSIONS The 2015 registry is the first to show a slight reduction in the number of centers sending in their results and in the total number of ablation procedures performed. The most frequently treated substrate was the cavotricuspid isthmus. There was also a slight decrease in the success rate. The complications and mortality rates remained low.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This report presents the findings of the 2014 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS For data collection, each center was allowed to choose freely between 2 systems: retrospective, requiring the completion of a standardized questionnaire, and prospective, involving reporting to a central database. RESULTS Data were collected from 85 centers. A total of 12 871 ablation procedures were performed, for a mean of 149.5±103 procedures per center. The ablation targets most frequently treated were atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n=3026; 23.5%), cavotricuspid isthmus (n=2833; 22.0%), and atrial fibrillation (n=2498; 19.4%). The number of ablation procedures for ventricular arrhythmias was similar to that of 2013, but there was a slight increase in the treatment of all the ventricular substrates, especially those associated with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and scarring following myocardial infarction. The overall success rate was 95%, the rate of major complications was 1.3%, and the mortality rate was 0.02%. CONCLUSIONS The 2014 registry shows that the number of ablation procedures performed continued its upward trend and that, overall, the success rate was high and the number of complications low. Ablation of complex conditions continued to increase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This report presents the results of the 2013 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS Data were collected using 2 systems: retrospectively by completing a dedicated form and prospectively by reporting to a central database. Each participating center chose 1 of the 2 data collection methods. RESULTS Eighty centers voluntarily contributed data to the registry. A total of 11 987 ablation procedures were performed, with a mean (standard deviation) of 149 (105) procedures per center. The 3 main arrhythmic substrates treated were atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n=2959; 24.6%), cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (n=2700; 22.5%), and atrial fibrillation (n=2201; 18.4%). The number of ventricular ablation procedures was similar to the 2012 activity, but there was a slight increase in procedures for scar-related postmyocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia. The success rate was 94.4%, major complications occurred in 1.8%, and the mortality rate was 0.03%. CONCLUSIONS In line with previous reports, the data from the 2013 registry show a continuing increase in the number of ablations performed. Overall, there was a high success rate and few complications. Ablation of complex substrates has continued to increase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This article presents the findings of the 2012 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry. METHODS Data were collected in 2 ways: retrospectively using a standardized questionnaire, and prospectively using a central database. Each participating center selected its own preferred method of data collection. RESULTS Seventy-four Spanish centers voluntarily contributed data to the survey. A total of 11 042 ablation procedures were analyzed, averaging 149 (103) per center. The 3 main conditions treated were atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n=2842; 25.7%), cavotricuspid isthmus (n=2485; 23%), and accessory pathways (n=1999; 18%). Atrial fibrillation was the fourth most common substrate treated (n=1852; 17%), representing a slight increase. The number of ventricular arrhythmia ablation procedures was similar to that of 2011, but there was a decrease in procedures for ventricular tachycardia associated with postinfarction scarring. The overall success rate was 94.9%, major complications occurred in 1.9%, and the overall mortality rate was 0.04%. CONCLUSIONS Data from the 2012 registry show that the number of ablations performed continued to increase. Overall, they also show a high success rate and a low number of complications. Ablation of complex substrates continued to increase, particularly in the case of atrial fibrillation.
