Key result
Uninterrupted edoxaban during atrial fibrillation ablation appears promising, but larger studies are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy in Japanese real-world practice.
Why the study?
Does uninterrupted treatment with edoxaban improve safety and efficacy compared to warfarin during the peri-procedural period of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation?

This editorial highlights the potential of uninterrupted edoxaban as a safe and effective alternative to warfarin during AF ablation, while calling for larger real-world studies in Japan.
number of cases, these results may well be a major step forward in AF ablation with uninterrupted edoxaban.Further studies with a larger number of patients will still be necessary to clarify not only the safety but also the efficacy of edoxaban during procedures in the Japanese real-world practice.
