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

Abstract: 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 rivaroxaba… Show more

“…Based on other studies and the clinical practice in our center, we hypothesized that the incidence of bleeding was 12% and 25% in the rivaroxaban group and the combination group, respectively. [15][16][17] At least 136 patients in each group were required to achieve a power of 80% to detect a statistically significant difference with a 2-sided alpha level of .05. When estimating the sample size, we considered 2 factors that could result in sample loss: (1) propensity score matching (PSM), which we estimated would result in a 20% sample loss, and (2) a 3-month follow-up period, which we also estimated would result in a 20% sample loss.…”

“…However, CRNM and minor bleeding are also clinically important as they are more common complications, especially in the short-term follow-up period, because they often result in adverse consequences, including hospitalization and cessation of effective anticoagulation, which can lead to worse clinical outcomes. 17,30 Therefore, it is crucial to identify patients who require and would benefit from combination therapy, to ensure timely pharmaceutical care for those already receiving combination therapy, and to adjust medication regimens for patients who have experienced bleeding due to this pharmacokinetic interaction. For instance, patients who are at a higher risk of bleeding, such as older adults and those with impaired renal function, should be treated with caution when combining rivaroxaban and amiodarone.…”
