Ablations in the ASC: What’s on the Horizon?

In July 2025, the CMS proposed adding cardiac ablation procedures to the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) Covered Procedures List – a significant policy shift from prior denials. Against this backdrop, cardiac ablation remains one of the fastest-evolving services in cardiovascular care, with growing attention on its potential role in ASCs. This session will provide a deep dive into the U.S. cardiac ablation market, highlighting the latest trends and drivers shaping the field. The speaker will explore the current ASC landscape, examining how ablations fit into today’s outpatient care model. Looking ahead, he will discuss what’s on the horizon – how advances in technology, shifts in policy, and evolving practice patterns may transform the role of ASCs in delivering ablation procedures.
