Abstract EN
Atrial fibrillation continues to be a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Effective anticoagulation remains the cornerstone of outpatient and inpatient treatment.
The use of the new generation of anticoagulants (NOACs) continues to grow.
Recently published data indicate their cost-effectiveness and overall safety in stroke prevention; compared to vitamin K antagonists, they can be prescribed in fixed doses for long-term therapy without the need for coagulation monitoring.
Both United States and European Guidelines recommend NOACs for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation.
This review discusses each of the NOACs, along with their efficacy and safety data.
It explores the most recent guidelines regarding their perioperative use in atrial fibrillation patients.
It also discusses bleeding complications, perioperative management, and reversal agents.
