Atrial fibrillation ablation in patients with therapeutic international normalized ratio: comparison of strategies of anticoagulation management in the periprocedural period.
BACKGROUND The best approach to management of anticoagulation before and after atrial fibrillation ablation is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared outcomes in consecutive patients undergoing pulmonary vein antrum isolation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Early in our practice, warfarin was stopped 3 days before ablation, and a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed to rule ou...
متن کاملPreprocedural therapeutic international normalized ratio influence on bleeding complications in atrial fibrillation ablation with continued anticoagulation with warfarin.
BACKGROUND Safety of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in conditions of periprocedural therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR) in combination with heparin is still uncertain, and little is known about the pre-procedural therapeutic INR influence on bleeding complications (BC) in this method. METHODS AND RESULTS The subjects were 150 consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablatio...
متن کاملOptimal International Normalized Ratio for Warfarin Therapy in Elderly Korean Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Background and Objectives: Optimal international normalized ratio (INR) in elderly atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at higher risk of hemorrhagic events remains unclear. We investigated the efficacy and safety of low-intensity warfarin therapy (target international normalized ratio [INR], 1.6–2.6) in elderly Korean patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF). Subjects and Methods: We enrolled 528 NVAF...
متن کاملInternational Normalized Ratio Stability in Warfarin-Experienced Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND Maintaining stable levels of anticoagulation using warfarin therapy is challenging. Few studies have examined the stability of the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who have had ≥6 months' exposure to warfarin anticoagulation for stroke prevention. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to describe INR control in NVAF patients who had...
متن کاملTherapeutic International Normalized Ratio Monitoring
studies have shown that the percentage of ring sideroblasts in MDS is not prognostically important. Thus, in the revised WHO classification, a diagnosis of MDS-RS may be made even in the presence of only 5% of ring sideroblasts in cases with SF3B1 mutation. MDS-RS cases will be subdivided into cases with single lineage dysplasia (previously classified as RARS) and cases with multilineage dyspla...
