Safety and Efficacy of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin in Adults With Durable Left Ventricular Assist Devices: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
In this multicenter cohort, DOACs were associated with improved long-term survival and comparable safety outcomes relative to warfarin in LVAD patients. These findings suggest DOACs may be a viable alternative, but larger prospective studies are warranted.
