Abstract
Factor Xa inhibitors, a new class of oral anticoagulants, have been evaluated in the phase II ATLAS ACS-TIMI 46 and APPRAISE trials. addition of these agents to standard therapy has tended to reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events at the expense of a dose-dependent increase in the risk of bleeding complications.
