The combination of
VKA and antiplatelet therapy is associated with both increased all-cause bleeding and major bleeding compared with
VKA monotherapy.
1% (10/110) of patients with AF received
VKA (warfarin) at discharge.

patients who require frequent antibiotics), those without severe renal impairment or those with a prior ischaemic stroke while receiving a
VKA with an adequate INR.
7) This meta-analysis was limited by poor study quality and variation in the indication for
VKA therapy.
2) Thus,
VKA reversal may be necessary for the acutely bleeding patient, or in the prophylactic setting for an individual about to undergo an invasive procedure.
Connolly and colleagues (2011) compared apixaban to aspirin for patients with AF who were unable to take
VKAs.
2], especially the longer chain mk-7, should be closely monitored in patients receiving
VKA treatment since mk-7 is a 3-4 times more potent inhibitor of
VKA than V[K.
6% of the study population was men and half of the patients received long-term oral anticoagulation with
VKA.
The study compared the oral single-drug solution of rivaroxaban 15 mg twice daily for three weeks followed by 20 mg once daily with the current dual drug approach of subcutaneous enoxaparin followed by a
VKA.
VKA may be resumed when adequate hemostasis is observed at 12-24 hours following the procedure.
