Anticoagulation Management in Patients with Valve Replacement.

Conclusion: In patients with prosthetic valve replacement, anticoagulant therapy with VKA seems to be an effective option. The role for non-VKA oral anticoagulants in the setting of prosthetic valve replacement has yet to be established. Furthermore, whether the novel oral anticoagulants are safe and efficacious in patients after placement of a bioprosthetic valve remains unanswered. PMID: 30341847 [PubMed - in process]
