Background: Portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) is a frequent and possibly fatal concurrent disorder following splenectomy. The optimal anticoagulant to prevent PVST following splenectomy remains unclear.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of apixaban versus aspirin in preventing PVST after laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) for cirrhotic hypersplenism.

Background: Calciphylaxis is a serious, potentially fatal condition resulting in pathological calcification of soft tissues. While associated with chronic kidney disease, data regarding anticoagulant involvement remain limited.
Research Design And Methods: The United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (USFDA AERS) database was searched to identify calciphylaxis reports linked to anticoagulants from 2004 to 2024.

Division of Hematology and Thromboembolism, Department of Medicine, Population Health Research Institute, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Although most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) do not require drug concentration measurements, there are situations where such information could be useful. Existing guidance documents provide usual on-therapy ranges for drug concentrations, but these have important limitations.
Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting trough and peak levels of DOAC regimens approved for stroke prevention in AF.

Background: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) compared to traditional anticoagulation (vitamin K antagonists or low-molecular-weight heparins) in cirrhotic patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: We conducted a literature search in PubMed and Embase databases up to May 2024. Studies were selected according to the PICOS criteria, focusing on cirrhotic patients with PVT treated with DOACs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban) compared to traditional anticoagulation.

Introduction: Inappropriate use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is common, affecting up to 30% of atrial fibrillation (AF) population receiving treatment for stroke prevention. This study assessed appropriateness of anticoagulation in anticoagulation-naive AF patients treated with DOACs during a 12-month prospective follow-up.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included all anticoagulation-naive AF patients referred for anticoagulation for stroke prevention at a tertiary cardiovascular center.
