Efficacy and Safety of Rivaroxaban and Warfarin in the Perioperative Period of Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation - Outcome Analysis From a Prospective Multicenter Registry Study in Japan

摘要

Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is a common treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Although rivaroxaban is increasingly used as a substitute for warfarin, its safety and efficacy during CA have not been established in Japanese patients. In the present study we explored the efficacy/safety of rivaroxaban during the CA perioperative period.
