Running after Activated Clotting Time Values in Patients Receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Potentially Dangerous Race. Results from a Prospective Study in Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation Procedures

Running after Activated Clotting Time Values in Patients Receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Potentially Dangerous Race. Results from a Prospective Study in Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation Procedures

Background: Activated Clotting Time (ACT) guided heparinization is the gold standard for titrating unfractionated heparin (UFH) administration during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. The current ACT target (300 s) is based on studies in patients receiving a vitamin K antagonist (VKA). S...
