Abstract
The excess in thrombotic and bleeding events in the apixaban group after study drug discontinuation appears to be related to an increased risk associated with the initiation of a VKA rather than a direct effect of apixaban. Whether â¥2 days of apixaban bridging improves outcomes during VKA transition is unknown and deserves further evaluation.
