Ala Eddin Sagar: Apixaban vs Rivaroxaban on This Week in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

Ala Eddin Sagar, Interventional Pulmonologist at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center – Madinah, shared a post on LinkedIn:

Apixaban or rivaroxaban for acute VTE?

This study is one of three papers discussed in this week’s episode of This Week in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine.

We review:

  • A randomized trial comparing apixaban vs rivaroxaban for VTE
  • An ICU study on oscillatory airway therapy in ventilated patients
  • A teaching discussion on how mitral valve disease affects the lungs

Curious how others are interpreting the DOAC trial.

Do you favor apixaban or rivaroxaban for acute VTE?
