Thromboembolism and bleeding risk in atrial fibrillation ablation with uninterrupted anticoagulation between new oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists: insights from an updated meta-analysis

In conclusions, uninterrupted NOACs was more effective than uninterrupted VKA in reducing major bleeding and pericardial effusion risk without increasing thromboembolism risk, and the benefits of uninterrupted NOACs on major bleeding complication could be more pronounced if CHA2DS2-VASc score  ≥ 2 or target ACT >  300 s.
