Background Cerebral microthromboembolism after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been
reported in 4–20% with perioperative warfarin. Dabigatran is a new anticoagulant in patients …

Background We previously reported that dabigatran increased the risk of
microthromboembolism and hemopericardium compared with warfarin. The safety of non …

Cerebral Microthromboembolism After CFAE Ablation. Background: The incidence of
cerebral thromboembolism after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ranges from 2% to 14%. This …

Apixaban Thromboembolism Prevention in AF Ablation Introduction Stroke can be a life‐
threatening complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. Uninterrupted warfarin …

Background: Periprocedural anticoagulation using uninterrupted warfarin could reduce the
risk of thromboembolic complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Few studies, however …

Background: The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of silent cerebral ischemic
lesions (SCIL) after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) and to determine whether SCIL …

BACKGROUND: Asymptomatic cerebral embolus (ACE) detected by diffusion-weighted
magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) following atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been …

Background—Radiofrequency left atrial catheter ablation has become a routine procedure
for treatment of atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to assess with preprocedural and …

Background Symptomatic cerebral thromboembolism occurs in 0.4% of transcatheter atrial
fibrillation ablation procedures. Silent cerebral events, instead, have recently been reported …

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation on Warfarin Introduction This study aimed to determine the effects
of continuing warfarin administration during the periprocedural period of catheter ablation for …
