Application of low-intensity anticoagulation after On-X mechanical aortic valve replacement by Kun Zou, Dachuang Wei, Bo Xiang, Tao Yu, Keli Huang, Shengzhong Liu

“…There was no significant difference in baseline data and surgical index between the two groups (P > 0.05); there were statistically significant differences in PT, INR and bleeding events (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in embolic events (P > 0.05). Conclusion For patients requiring On-X mechanical aortic valve replacement who have no risk factors for thromboembolism, it is appropriate to control the INR in the target range 1.5-2.0, which can reduce the incidence of bleeding adverse events and significantly improve the quality of life, without increasing the risk of thromboembolic adverse events.…”
