Safety of Uninterrupted Periprocedural Edoxaban Versus Phenprocoumon for Patients Who Underwent Left Atrial Catheter Ablation Procedures.

Data about the safety of edoxaban in patients who underwent left atrial (LA) radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures are lacking. This study sought to compare the safety of uninterrupted edoxaban with uninterrupted phenprocoumon administration during LA RF ablation for atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia. In total, 231 patients (mean age 64 ± 11years, male 71%) who underwent LA RF ablation under continuous oral anticoagulation (OAC) with edoxaban or phenprocoumon were included in the study.
