Comparison of co-administration of amiodarone and rivaroxaban to co-administration of dronedarone and rivaroxaban for hemorrhage risks after atrial fibrillation ablation

PURPOSE: To investigate whether co-administration of antiarrhythmic dronedarone and anticoagulant rivaroxaban would increase the risks of hemorrhage after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.

METHODS: A total of 100 patients with AF who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) in the Department of Cardiology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2019-12 to 2020-11 were included. Patients were divided into an oral dronedarone and rivaroxaban group (D-R group, N = 50) and an oral amiodarone and rivaroxaban group (A-R group, N = 50) according to the postoperative antiarrhythmic and anticoagulation strategies. Patients in 2 groups were given propensity score matching (PSM) to obtain a sample with balanced inter-group covariates. A retrospective observational study was conducted. After 3 months of follow-up, the incidence of clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB), major hemorrhages, and early AF recurrence was observed.

RESULTS: After PSM, 41 patients were included in each group. With similarly distributed baseline characteristics and ablation characteristics after PSM, the CRNMB rate after AF ablation was significantly higher in the D-R group than in the A-R group (26.8% versus 7.3%, P = 0.02), and no major hemorrhages were detected in both groups. No significant difference was observed in the sinus rhythm maintenance rate between the D-R group and the A-R group (26.8% vs. 22.0%, P = 0.43).

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to co-administration of amiodarone and rivaroxaban, co-administration of dronedarone and rivaroxaban increases the risk of CRNMB but it does not increase the risk of major hemorrhages in blanking period after AF ablation.
