Clotting Conundrum: Atrial fibrillation is unpredictable and can return at any time. If an ablation procedure was done and a person remains free of recurrent arrhythmia, anticoagulants are usually stopped after a period of time. In this situation, stopping or switching to an alternate drug might be an option, since the valvular issue had nothing to do with the AFIB.
