A member asked:
After having surgery performed to replace the aorta, will you need blood thinners for the rest of the life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Okay to ask your surgery team this question. They know your case. The blood thinner may be for a different but related problem, like atrial fibrillation.
