Randomized Controlled: Trial of New Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin for Postcardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation
Treatment with rivaroxaban in new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery did not decrease length of stay compared with warfarin. However, patients treated with rivaroxaban reported significantly better convenience and a more favorable overall perception of their anticoagulation experience compared with warfarin. Given similar safety profiles, these findings support incorporating rivaroxaban as an option for shared decision-making when selecting anticoagulation therapy for this patient population.
