AB In patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who are undergoing catheter ablation, VENTURE AF has shown that uninterrupted rivaroxaban compared with uninterrupted warfarin is associated with a risk of periprocedural thromboembolic events and major bleeding that was similar to that seen with warfarin. An open-label multicenter registry with uninterrupted apixaban vs uninterrupted warfarin yielded the same result.
