Equivalent thrombotic risk with Warfarin, Dabigatran, or Enoxaparin after failure of initial direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) therapy

ConclusionsIn this retrospective analysis of patients failing first line DOAC therapy, rates of 2nd recurrent thrombosis and bleeding did not differ among subsequently chosen anticoagulants. Our study provides evidence that the optimal 2nd anticoagulant is not clear, and the choice of 2nd anticoagulant should continue to balance patient preference, cost, and provider experience.
