Novel oral anticoagulants in a real-world cohort of patients undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation
Conclusion
In this prospective observational study, anticoagulation with NOACs following AF catheter ablation was safe and effective at long-term follow-up. Fast onset of action makes NOACs especially attractive in patients without effective anticoagulation on admission and in patients following periprocedural complications.
