DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12333
Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated the feasibility of uninterrupted direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with a temporary switch to dabigatran (“dabigatran bridge”) for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. We compared the effectiveness and safety between uninterrupted DOACs with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12777
Abstract: Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a severe complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation resulting in narrowing of affected pulmonary veins (PVs). Interventional treatment consists of angioplasty with or without PV stenting. The optimal postprocedural antithrombotic… read more here.
