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
2021
Journal of Clinical Medicine
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). Several studies have shown that in patients receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs), the correlation between ACT values and UFH delivered dose is weak. Objective: To assess the relationship between ACT and
