Association between warfarin use and thromboembolic events in patients post-Fontan operation: propensity-score overlap weighting analyses
Warfarin use at discharge after a Fontan operation may not be necessary for thromboembolism prophylaxis in paediatric patients, based on large-scale real-world data, with a mean postoperative follow-up duration of 2.1 years. There is room for further studies to reconsider routine warfarin use in patients post-Fontan operation.
