Impact of preprocedural anticoagulation on the incidence of silent cerebral embolisms after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with low thromboembolic risk
AF ablation carried a substantial risk of SCEs even in patients with low thromboembolic risk. Preprocedural anticoagulation for more than 3 weeks can significantly reduce the incidence of SCEs after ablation in AF patients.
