Abstract
Anticoagulants can complicate the approach to the management of patients undergoing operative interventions. We review new anticoagulants that have been introduced recently to the market or that are undergoing investigations for treatment of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis: Dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixiban, and edoxaban.
