EFFICACY AND SAFETY IN NVAF PATIENTS UNDERGOING CATHETER ABLATION IN THE ELIMINATE-AF TRIAL

The incidence of the composite primary endpoint in the main analysis was low in both once-daily LIXIANA® and well-managed VKA in NVAF patients undergoing catheter ablation. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of major bleeding between once-daily LIXIANA® and well-managed VKA in NVAF patients undergoing catheter ablation.1
