Study: Bleeding Risk With Some Blood Thinners Similar to Aspirin
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism can reduce the risk of blood clots by using blood thinners such as non–vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs), but those medications increase their risk of bleeding. According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, aspirin carries a similar risk.
