An 89 yr male had heart attack 1mth after stroke he is in afib taking clopidogrel aspirin.hospital doctor wants to give a third anti-coagulation,risk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anticoagulantion: An anticoagulation alone is enough. The only reason plavix might be needed is if there was a recent coronary stent. No need for all three, that would significantly increase bleeding risk
