🚨 New Trial Alert 🚨
Can we safely stop anticoagulation after AF ablation? The ALONE-AF Trial 🫀 suggests yes—in selected patients with no AF recurrence, stopping DOACs reduced major bleeding 🌟 without increasing stroke risk 🧠.
📉 0.3% vs 2.2% for the composite outcome (P = .02)
📍 Carefully monitored, low-risk patients may benefit most.
📝 Editorial: Recommends shared decision-making 🤝 & individualized rhythm monitoring.
📚 A potential shift in post-ablation care.
