Abstract
Management of anticoagulation in cirrhosis is challenging because of the concomitant risk of both thromboembolism and bleeding complications. Randomized controlled studies are lacking. Direct oral anticoagulants seem to be the most manageable option. However, for patients with Child C cirrhosis, the only safer anticoagulant strategy, currently, is low-molecular-weight heparin.
