Acenocoumarol After CABG
Clinical studies have investigated the role of oral anticoagulants including acenocoumarol in preventing occlusion of the venous grafts in patients who have undergone a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). These studies have shown that the oral anticoagulants including acenocoumarol are effective in preventing reocclusion of the graft.
