Activated Clotting Time on the Day of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation for Minimally Interrupted and Uninterrupted Direct Oral Anticoagulation Therapy: Sequential Changes, Differences among Direct Oral Anticoagulants, and Ablation Safety Outcomes

ConclusionsThe pre ‐ACT did not show sequential change in the min‐Int and Unint groups. No notable differences in the time‐dependent change in pre‐ACT between the groups were observed. Variations in baseline ACT suggest the need for moderate adjustment of ACT for adequate modification of heparin dose for the o ther 3 DOACs. Both regimens provided similar acceptable AF ablation safety outcomes.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
