Comparison of uninterrupted direct oral anticoagulation with vitamin-K antagonists during AF-ablation in the clinical routine. A single center register

Abstract

Background: Uninterrupted direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) in AF-ablation is recommended, proven by randomized trials. The outcome and the periinterventional differences between DOACs and VKA in the real world clinical practice are discussed controversial. Hypothesis: To investigate efficiency and safety of uninterrupted DOAC therapy compared to VKA during AF-Ablation in real world setting with a focus on periinterventional heparin dosage.
