What is the recommended anticoagulation therapy to prevent venous thromboembolism in patients after knee replacement surgery?

Evidence shows direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as rivaroxaban and apixaban, as well as low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), are effective for VTE prevention after knee replacement surgery. Aspirin is an alternative, especially for those with higher bleeding risks, though it may carry a slightly higher risk of VTE compared to LMWHs.

Abstract

Evidence shows direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as rivaroxaban and apixaban, as well as low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), are effective for VTE prevention after knee replacement surgery. Aspirin is an alternative, especially for those with higher bleeding risks, though it may carry a slightly higher risk of VTE compared to LMWHs.
