Long Term Outcomes and Anticoagulation in Mitral Valve Surgery - A Report from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database
CONCLUSIONS: Anticoagulation was used in less than half of mitral valve surgery. In MVrep patients, warfarin was associated with increased bleeding and was not protective against either stroke or mortality. In BMVR patients, warfarin was associated with a modest survival benefit, increased bleeding and equivalent stroke risk. NOAC was associated with increased adverse outcomes.PMID:37308066 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.025

Risk of Stroke and Major Bleeding with Vitamin-K Antagonist Use after Mitral Valve Repair
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that VKA after MVr does not reduce risk of cerebral embolic events but is associated with increased risk of major bleeding events.PMID:36223805 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.038
