Oral anticoagulation (OAC) prevents thromboembolism yet greatly increases the risk of bleeding, inciting concern among clinicians. Current guidelines lack sufficient evidence supporting long-term OAC following successful atrial fibrillation catheter ablation (CA). A literature search was performed in PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, and Scopus to seek out studies that compare continued and discontinued anticoagulation in post-ablation Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Funnel plots and Egger’s test examined potential bias. Via the random-effects model, summary odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using RevMan (5.4) and STATA (17.0). Twenty studies, including 22 429 patients (13 505 off-OAC) were analyzed. Stratified CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2 examining thromboembolic events (TE) favored OAC continuation (OR 1.86; 95% CI: 1.02-3.40; P = .04). Sensitivity analysis demonstrated this association was attenuated. The on-OAC arm had greater incidence of major bleeding (MB) (OR 0.16; 95% CI: 0.08-0.95; P < .00001), particularly intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and gastrointestinal bleeding (GI); (OR 0.17; 95% CI: 0.08-0.36; P < .00001) and (OR 0.12; 95% CI: 0.04-0.32; P < .0001), respectively. Our findings support sustained anticoagulation in patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥2. Due to reduced outcome robustness, physician discretion is still advised.
