The use of novel oral anticoagulation (NOACs) has emerged as an alternative for oral anticoagulation with vitamin-K antagonists in different clinical settings. However, despite the several advantages of these new drugs, there are also several limitations and cautious is recommended in different clinical settings in patients with a high comorbidity index. This review article will describe the current evidence of treatment monitoring, possible drug interaction, and will give an overview about treatment options in case of complications.

Atrial fibrillation is an age-dependent disease with symptomatic and prognostic implications. Treatment options include rhythm as well as rate control. However, there is a need for anticoagulation depending on calculated individual annual risk. Treatment options include antiplatelet therapy, oral anticoagulation and the use of novel oral anticoagulation (NOACs). To date, the safety and efficacy of NOACs in atrial fibrillation is established in large mega-trials. However, there is still concern on the use of NOACs in invasive procedures such as coronary angiography, electrophysiological procedures, and general surgical procedures. This review will give an overview about current data of NAOCs in procedures for rhythm control (pulmonary vein isolation and current cardioversion).
