Will Direct Oral Anticoagulants Have a Chance in Prosthetic Valves?
Keyword(s):
Although there are abundant data highlighting the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants, to date, recent guidelines have limited their use to stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF, as well as in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism. Encouraging data about the off-label use of direct oral anticoagulants have been shown in several other indications, such as intracardiac thrombi, left ventricular thrombi and left atrial appendage, but a large sector of patients are still not addressed, such as valvular and prosthetic patients.
