Hey Jim, Saw your note regarding onset of afib well after your surgery. I had AVR in Jan 2020 and developed flutter a few weeks later which, after not correcting itself for a couple of months, was addressed with a successful cardioversion back to NSR and has stayed so far. That allowed me to get off of the Xarelto. My cardiologist did say that the mechanism isn't well known, likely new path resulting from surgery, it could return and if it did, would likely require ablation to correct. Wish you the best and am very interested in how it is addressed.
