Antiplatelets and oral anticoagulants are commonly used to treat patients with various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the primary concern for clinicians remains the risk of bleeding, thus necessitating the development of new therapies. Milvexian is a new anticoagulant that inhibits factor XIa, preventing the pathological formation of thrombi without increasing bleeding risk.
