Interrupted or Uninterrupted Oral Anticoagulants in Patients Undergoing Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

ConclusionsThese three NOAC strategies may have similar safety and efficacy in terms of thromboembolism and major bleeding complications. The total bleeding risk of completely interrupted oral anticoagulants is higher than that of uninterrupted and minimally interrupted NOACs. For thromboembolism, minimally interrupted NOACs, uninterrupted NOACs and continuous VKAs were better than interrupted warfarin.
