BACKGROUND: The safety and efficacy of periprocedural use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unclear. We compared the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral micro-thromboembolism and hemopericardium following AF ablation among patients receiving edoxaban, rivaroxaban, and warfarin and between normal- and low-dose use of edoxaban and rivaroxaban.
METHODS: This prospective randomized study included 170 consecutive AF patients. Patients taking DOACs upon admission to our hospital were randomly assigned to an edoxaban group or to a rivaroxaban group. Warfarin was continued in patients receiving warfarin at admission. All patients underwent AF ablation, and cerebral MRI was performed to evaluate asymptomatic cerebral micro-thromboembolism the day after the procedure.
RESULTS: Sixty-one patients were assigned to edoxaban and 63 to rivaroxaban. Warfarin was continued in 46 patients. Although asymptomatic cerebral micro-thromboembolism was detected in 25 patients (16.3%), there were no significant differences among the groups. Hemopericardium occurred in 2 patients (one each in the rivaroxaban and warfarin groups). The incidence of asymptomatic cerebral micro-thromboembolism was higher in the low-dose group (9 patients, 25.7%) than in the normal-dose group (8 patients, 10.0%) for patients prescribed either edoxaban or rivaroxaban (p < 0.05). The proportion of males (88.0%, 69.5%, p < 0.05), history of prior AF ablation (64.0%, 42.2%, p < 0.05), and hypertension (68.0%, 46.1%, p < 0.05) were significantly higher in patients with cerebral thromboembolism.
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of asymptomatic cerebral micro-thromboembolism and hemopericardium in AF ablation was similar among patients using edoxaban, rivaroxaban, and warfarin. However, low doses of DOACs may increase the risk of asymptomatic stroke.
