Pierre Sabouret: Despite the NEJM Publication, I Still Prefer DOACs
Pierre Sabouret, Cardiologist, Member of the Executive Committee for Education at European Atherosclerosis Society, shared NEJM‘s post on X:
“Despite it’s published in NEJM, I’m still not convinced by aspirin in the prevention of venous thrombosis and will still prescribe DOAC in this setting.”
NEJM (The New England Journal of Medicine) shared a post on X:
“A trial of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after hip or knee arthroplasty did not show that aspirin was noninferior to rivaroxaban or warfarin for symptomatic VTE or death.
Warfarin and rivaroxaban were not noninferior to aspirin for safety.”
