Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Preliminary experiences suggest that intermittent anticoagulation guided by continuous electrocardiographic monitoring can reduce the incidence of bleeding in patients with episodes of atrial fibrillation.

Uncertainty about the potential implications of a strategy of intermittent anticoagulation after percutaneous coronary intervention exists.

The investigators will perform a case-control study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation on demand in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For decades now, stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation has largely consisted of chronic oral anticoagulation, often with no end in sight. This strategy, however, is associate with a high incidence of bleeding complications, especially when anticoagulation is associated with antiplatelet agents, as it occurs in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Known as intermittent, on demand, or 'pill in the pocket' anticoagulation, the strategy of prescribing oral anticoagulation only when is actually needed, has gotten a feasibility boost from recent advancements in both medical therapy and rhythm monitoring technology.
