Chest, 10/15/09
Le Tourneau T et al. – This population–based comprehensive study of anticoagulation and TE post–MVR shows that in these closely anticoagulated patients, anticoagulation intensity is highly variable and not associated with TE incidence post–MVR. Higher anticoagulation intensity is linked to higher variability and thus to bleeding. The MVR–ball design is associated with higher TE rates notwithstanding higher anticoagulation intensity and should be retired worldwide.
