All data presented as n (%) unless otherwise stated: 1 patient in the warfarin group experienced a hemorrhagic stroke which occurred at 161 days from AC, 1 patient experienced a clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding after 90 days (139) in the warfarin group, 6 patients were lost to follow-up at 3 months in the warfarin arm, and 2 patients were lost to follow-up in the DOAC arm.
