Delaying cardioversion following 4-week anticoagulation in case of persistent atrial fibrillation after a transcatheter ablation procedure to reduce silent cerebral thromboembolism

Abstract

Delaying electrical cardioversion after a 4-week anticoagulation period reduced the risk of silent cerebral thromboembolism and is a viable and safer option in patients terminating a transcatheter ablation procedure in atrial fibrillation.
