title: New anticoagulants in combination with antiplatelet agents.
abstract: The use of new, direct anticoagulants is increasing. Data from both controlled trials and clinical practice have shown that these drugs are as efficacious and safe as warfarin for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and as stroke prophylaxis for patients with atrial fibrillation. But what if platelet inhibition is also indicated? In the following, the combination of antiplatelets and the new anticoagulants is discussed for various indications.
