Variation in Warfarin Thromboprophylaxis After Mitral Valve Repair: Does Equipoise Exist and Is a Randomized Trial Warranted? ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions
At present, half of patients are prescribed warfarin after isolated mitral valve repair in North American cardiac surgical practice which may impact the length of hospital stay. Although patient-level predictors of warfarin prescription exist, center- and surgeon-level variations are prominent. There is a pressing need for a randomized trial both to guide therapy and to ascertain the potential for resource conservation.
