”Anticoagulation in Cirrhosis: The New Standard
Patients with cirrhosis face an increased risk of thrombotic events like AF and VTE.
It’s now accepted that their coagulation is “rebalanced,” making anticoagulation the standard of care to reduce stroke/thrombosis risk!

LMWH often preferred in Child-Pug-C.
