Does aspirin prevent postoperative VTE or death in patients undergoing TKA compared with other anticoagulants?
Does aspirin prevent postoperative VTE or death in patients undergoing TKA compared with other anticoagulants?
Aspirin alone may provide similar protection from postoperative VTE compared with other anticoagulation treatments in patients after Total Knee Arthroplasty.
May support aspirin after TKA; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
In this study of patients undergoing TKA, aspirin was not inferior to other anticoagulants in the postoperative rate of VTE or death. Aspirin alone may provide similar protection from postoperative VTE compared with other anticoagulation treatments.
