Abstrakt: Introduction:Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (PVI) is being performed with increasing frequency. This time and labor-intensive procedure is under increasing scrutiny as we look for means to decrease costs of delivering care. Performing these procedures on therapeutic warfarin could shorten hospital stays, eliminate costly low-molecular weight heparin (LMW) use, and decrease procedural heparin administration which could reduce hemorrhage from access sites.
