简要总结
The purpose of the prospective, randomized cohort in this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 apixaban treatment strategies (uninterrupted versus interrupted) in subjects planned to undergo catheter ablation for the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
Simultaneously, a retrospective cohort of 300 warfarin-treated individuals, identified by chart review, who are matched to the prospective randomized subjects, will be identified. The purpose of the retrospective warfarin cohort is to compare the efficacy and safety of warfarin(the current clinical practice) to that of apixaban (uninterrupted, interrupted, combined uninterrupted and interrupted).
详细描述
Prospective, Randomized Cohort
Subjects undergoing ablation for NVAF who meet all eligibility criteria and sign informed consent will be enrolled into the study. Subjects will be treated with apixaban for ≥21 days prior to the ablation procedure (for subjects already on apixaban for ≥21 days, it is not necessary to wait 21 days before the ablation procedure. Apixaban dose will be 5 mg b.i.d. per product label, or 2.5 mg b.i.d. in subjects with 2 or more of the following: age ≥80 years, body weight ≤60 kg, or serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL.
Eligible subjects will then be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 2 peri-procedural treatment strategies:
- Uninterrupted treatment: administer the evening apixaban dose on the day prior to the procedure; administer the morning apixaban dose on the day of the procedure; administer heparin bolus before transseptal puncture to maintain a target activated clotting time [ACT] > 300 seconds; administer the evening apixaban dose after the procedure if there were no peri-procedural complications that necessitate withholding anticoagulation for longer duration.
- Interrupted treatment: administer the evening apixaban dose on the day prior to the procedure; do not administer the morning apixaban dose on the day of the procedure; administer heparin bolus before transseptal puncture to maintain a target ACT > 300 seconds; administer the evening apixaban dose after the procedure if there were no peri-procedural complications that necessitate withholding anticoagulation for longer duration.
Randomization will take place prior to the procedure (on the day of the procedure or up to 3 days prior to the procedure) and will be stratified by site.

研究组 & 干预措施
Interrupted apixaban
Apixaban dose is administered on the evening prior to the procedure; apixaban dose is held on the morning of the procedure; apixaban dose is administered on the evening after the procedure if there were no peri-procedural complications that necessitated withholding anticoagulation for longer duration.
干预措施: Interrupted apixaban (Drug)
Uninterrupted apixaban
Apixaban dose is administered on the evening prior to the procedure; apixaban dose is administered on the morning of the procedure; apixaban dose is administered on the evening after the procedure if there were no peri-procedural complications that necessitated withholding anticoagulation for longer duration.
干预措施: Uninterrupted apixaban (Drug)
