Effectiveness and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin in Patients With Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
So we can use DOACs now for valvular Afib (See study above), we've been using DOACs for other VTEs, and recently shown to be safe in even cancer-related VTEs. Is there any reason (maybe poor renal function) to continue using warfarin?
