Article Synopsis
  • This study examines whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) to total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients receiving apixaban can lower the risk of postoperative bleeding without increasing thromboembolic events.
  • Researchers analyzed data from over 118,000 TJA patients and found that those who received both apixaban and TXA had significantly lower rates of bleeding complications and transfusions compared to those who only received apixaban.
  • The findings suggest that using TXA in conjunction with apixaban during surgery is beneficial for reducing bleeding risks without raising the chances of serious blood clots or heart problems, making it a recommended practice for surgeons.
