Background Cerebral microthromboembolism after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been
reported in 4–20% with perioperative warfarin. Dabigatran is a new anticoagulant in patients
with nonvalvular AF. We investigated the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral
microthromboembolism after AF ablation with perioperative warfarin or dabigatran using
diffusion‐weighted and T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods and
Results Our study included 210 consecutive patients with AF (111 paroxysmal and 99 …
