Study of Modifications Induced by Continued Direct Oral Anticoagulant Therapy during Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Procedures on Standard Hemostasis Parameters

Study of Modifications Induced by Continued Direct Oral Anticoagulant Therapy during Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Procedures on Standard Hemostasis Parameters

Background: Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is used as an anticoagulant during the atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure to prevent the occurrence of thromboembolic events.
