The Use of Rivaroxaban in Perioperative Period of Pulmonary Vein Antrum Isolation in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Results of an observational study. devoted to prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter pulmonary vein atrium isolation are discussed. Patients (n= 199) were divided into two comparable groups depending on the anticoagulant (rivaroxaban or wa...

Description
Summary:	Results of an observational study. devoted to prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter pulmonary vein atrium isolation are discussed. Patients (n= 199) were divided into two comparable groups depending on the anticoagulant (rivaroxaban or warfarin) used. Clinical thromboembolic and/or hemorrhagic complications as well as rate of development of asymptomatic cerebral thromboembolisms in various periods after procedure were assessed. Main conclusion: rivaroxaban was not inferior to warfarin for thromboprophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter pulmonary vein antrum isolation.
