Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare side effects and complications relating to use of warfarin or rivaroxaban, tolerance and/or toxicity of these two agents such as drop in hemoglobin post operatively, extent of bruising, quantity of wound drainage, duration of drainage, wound swelling, sub and supra-therapeutic prothrombin times, need for transfusion, and patient tolerance in two randomized groups. Return visits to the operating room, length of stay, and VTE rates will also be compared.
