Use of Dabigatran Etexilate to Prevent Stroke and Thromboembolism in Patients Undergoing Left Atrial Catheter Ablation Procedures for Paroxysmal or Persistent (Non-permanent) Atrial Fibrillation and Left Atrial Flutter
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating dabigatran etexilate mesylate for Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter. Completed, enrolled 101 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate major adverse bleeding risks, and thromboembolic event rates post radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The primary goal is to establish safety of dabigatran use for peri-procedural anti-coagulation after left atrial catheter radiofrequency ablation, or cryoablation procedures.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Immediately following the ablation procedure (4-6 hours after sheath pull and vascular hemostasis), dabigatran etexilate 150mg bid, or 75mg twice daily based on creatinine clearance in the Use in Specified Populations (USPI), will be administered for a minimum of 3 months post RF ablation.
