Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
Abstract
DOACs are a new group of blood-thinner medications that may have some advantages over warfarin. A health care provider will look at several different factors to help patients decide if a DOAC is a good choice. Patients taking DOACs should discuss medication changes, a plan for taking the DOAC before and after a surgery, and any bleeding side effects with their health care provider.
Keywords: DVT; anticoagulants; apixaban; dabigatran; edoxaban; pulmonary embolism; rivaroxaban; thrombosis.
