Several....: The newest class of drugs i know of in that area is the factor xa inhibitors: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/direct_xa_inhibitor.

There a few: Three new agents out, apixaban , pradaxa, xaralto. Each has its adavantages . No measuring levels and no food retrictions like coumadin (warfarin). Although they are better than Coumadin (warfarin) and have less bleeding , when pts do bleed from these , there isnt a reversal agent like coumadin (warfarin).
