Isolated Atrial Fibrillation Episodes: Is Ablation a Good Fit?

There is a body of evidence from various studies that the risk of blood clot comes a few days after the Afib episode. I felt that any risk of a stroke was too much, so I had a watchman as soon as I could. The best thing in 2024 for me was stopping Eliquis. The huge cost was killing my budget.

@katiekateny I believe the PIP approach with Eliquis is to take it for a month. My doctor seemed to indicate a week might be enough for a shorter episode.

I have never heard or been told of the connection between heart and kidney. Can you share a link?

I’m to stay on my blood thinner med throughout the ablation and after so hopefully it will keep blood clots away.
