Pain Physician, 05/05/09
Linn AJ et al. - Thromboembolism is a potentially devastating complication associated with atrial fibrillation. Twenty percent of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation are fatal, and greater than 50% result in permanent disability. While thromboembolic events following a brief period of normalization of coagulation for interventions appear rare, so is the incidence of epidural hematomas. Considering the high mortality and permanent rate of disability with thromboembolic events associated with atrial fibrillation, perhaps it is time to balance our focus on the complications of withholding anticoagulation with those of bleeding.
