PFA procedure with stroke risks

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.

Coming off Eliquis should/could happen if your CHAD Score that gloaming refers to below is in the lowest ranges. Coming off Metoprolol would depend on your blood pressure range. Both would be determined after the supposed 3-month blanking period. Good luck and glad your ablation went well 🙂
