One-year outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing coronary artery stenting: an analysis of the AFCAS registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of the antithrombotic regimens for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent (PCI-S) derives from small, single-center, retrospective datasets. To obtain further data on this issue, we carried out the prospective, multicenter, observational Management of patients with Atrial Fibrillation undergoing Coronary Artery Stenting (AFCAS) registry (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT00596570).

Hypothesis

We hypothesize that the antithrombotic treatment of AF patients undergoing PCI-S is variable and the clinical outcome may vary according to the different regimens.

Methods

Consecutive AF patients undergoing PCI-S at 17 European institutions were included and followed
