@mclare, thanks for explaining. I'm sure other members, like @karenatmayo @rubywitch67 @danab @rainyday541 @thumperguy @razorclams will respond with their experiences regarding anticoagulation and ablation.

You may also wish to contact Mayo Clinic to inquire directly. Here's a link to the contact information http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

I certainly understand your concern about potential risks: bleeding, stroke, etc. You want to feel comfortable and confident in your care.
