Preference Cohort 2 (LMWH)
Randomized Arm 1 will get anticoagulation therapy with a Direct Oral AntiCoagulant (DOAC). There are four FDA-approved DOAC drugs that may be used for this study: Rivaroxaban, Apixaban, Edoxaban, or Dabigatran. The treatment (including dosage form, dosage, frequency and duration) should be administered in accordance with the drug's FDA package insert, and all modifications are at the discretion of the treating investigator.
Randomized Arm 2 will get anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) with or without a transition to warfarin. There are three FDA-approved LMWH drugs that may be used for this study: Dalteparin, Enoxaparin, or Fondaparinux. The treatment (including dosage form, dosage, frequency and duration) should be administered in accordance with the drug's FDA package insert, and all modifications are at the discretion of the treating investigator.
If an eligible participant is offered randomization and declines randomization, then a limited number of participants (up to N=190) will be allowed to enroll in the Preference Cohort. In this case, the treating physician and patient choose Arm 1 or Arm 2 (non-randomized). Preference cohort: Non-randomized Arm 1 will get anticoagulation therapy with a Direct Oral AntiCoagulant (DOAC).
