A member asked:
Does someone need to be prescribed a blood thinner following an endarterectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: It depends on the individual patient. Some people are very bad candidates for blood thinners because they have a history of ulcers, bleeds in the brain, etc. This choice should be discussed with the surgeon that does the endarterectomy.
