TCT-215 Uninterrupted Novel Oral Anticoagulants and Warfarin Use for Peri-procedural Anticoagulation during Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Background Uninterrupted warfarin with intra-procedural heparin is a commonly used anticoagulation strategy during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation to decrease thromboembolic risk. Conclusions The results of our study suggest that uninterrupted NOAC and warfarin use with intra-procedural heparin us...

Description
Summary:Background Uninterrupted warfarin with intra-procedural heparin is a commonly used anticoagulation strategy during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation to decrease thromboembolic risk. Conclusions The results of our study suggest that uninterrupted NOAC and warfarin use with intra-procedural heparin use for AF ablation have low and similar risk for TE and major bleeding.
