Safe INR Level for Ablation?

I am one week from my first cyroablation and my blood INR is 1.2. Most recommend a value between 2.0 and 3.0. What are folks' knowledge and experience in this area? Might I be canceled as, according to these numbers from today's tests, the Pradaxa hasn't thinned my blood much. Are these the cases where they go ahead with the procedure anyway and just add heparin during the procedure? Literature notes a higher risk of completions with INR <1.5 - 2.0 Thanks.
