Abstract Objectives. In the context of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, oral anticoagulant therapy has been traditionally replaced by bridging with heparin during the periprocedural period. We wanted to study the feasibility and safety of continuous warfarin therapy compared to traditional bridging therapy. Design. The complication rates were compared retrospectively in a consecutive patient series. In the bridging group, warfarin was discontinued three days and low molecular weight heparin started one day prior to the procedure. Warfarin was reinitiated one day after and low molecular weight heparin was continued until the therapeutic INR target was reached. Patients on continuous therapy received warfarin throughout the periprocedural period. All patients received unfractionated heparin during the procedure. Results. Three thromboembolic cerebrovascular events (1.9%) occurred in the bridging group (n = 157) and seven (0.82%) in the warfarin group (n = 850) (p = 0.142). The number of cardiac tamponades was one (0.64%) and four (0.47%), respectively (p = 0.786). Total number of severe bleeding and thromboembolic complications was more common in the bridging group: 9 (5.7%) versus 22 (2.6%); p = 0.036. In multivariate analysis, female gender, advanced age, and bridging therapy predicted complications. Conclusions. Continuous oral anticoagulant therapy is a safe and feasible alternative for bridging therapy in patients undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
