Dr Hannah Gogarty

,Question 1

stenosis due to a congenital bicuspid valve. He has a past medical history
hypertension. He is a smoker and drinks 25 units of alcohol per week. Surg
is uncomplicated. Which of the following is the most appropriate choice of
anticoagulant for his long-term management?

A. Dabigatran
B. Aspirin
C. Warfarin
D. Enoxaparin
E. Rivaroxaban

, Explanation
• Answer: C - Warfarin
• Rationale:
– Warfarin is the only anticoagulant licenced for long term anticoagulation for mechan
valve replacement.
– Aspirin is not an anticoagulant
– DOACs (Dabigatran/rivaroxaban) are not licenced for this indication due to safety
concerns (bleeding/thrombus).
– Enoxaparin can be used, but is not typically first choice for long term anticoagulatio
