Overview
This independent medical education (IME) series has been created for English, German and Spanish speaking cardiologists and is designed to showcase the latest updates emerging from the data in novel oral anticoagulants in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients undergoing PCI.
It will consider the latest recommendations on bleeding risks and the impact this has on the optimum duration of therapy with NOACs, for those patients with atrial fibrillation. In particular, the WOEST, PIONEER and RE-DUAL-PCI studies will be considered.
Support Statement
This activity has been supported by an unrestricted independent grant from Boehringher Ingelheim
