Please do an internet search on the probability of a stroke with a PFA, which is a type of catheter ablation, and the possibility of a stroke with AFib. I think you'll find your answer. Good luck!

I had a PFA performed 19 days ago and during the procedure they used heparin which is an anticoagulant. At the end of the procedure, they used protamine to neutralize the heparin induced anticoagulation. I am still on Eliquis and Metoprolol and should be off both meds in the near future.
