Does aspirin compared with warfarin reduce the incidence of thromboembolism in patients after Fontan procedure?
Aspirin and warfarin are both effective for thromboprophylaxis after the Fontan procedure, with no significant difference in efficacy between the two agents.
This study shows a significantly lower incidence of TE after Fontan procedure if either aspirin or warfarin is used. This meta-analysis suggests no significant difference in incidence of early or late TE in patients receiving aspirin compared with warfarin.
Alsaied et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
