Abstract
Treating patients at highest risk of major haemorrhage with aspirin instead of oral anticoagulants would have resulted in a reduction of non-fatal haemorrhages, but for venous bypasses this reduction was outweighed by an increase in ischemic events and graft occlusions. We still recommend treatment with oral anticoagulants after peripheral venous bypass surgery.
