Abstract
The standard effective treatment of venous and arterial thromboembolism includes unfractionated and low-molecular weight heparin as well as warfarin, which have major disadvantages. In recent years, new anticoagulants have been developed in an attempt to overcome the known limitations of established treatment and develop improved therapies. This chapter reviews pharmacological properties of the new anticoagulants, the most recent trials assessing their safety and efficacy as well as potential advantages and disadvantages of using these novel drugs in real life.
