Read all the thread and the info is there. Your question answered itself “your cardiologist”

I don't know...my doctor only took me off of it a couple of months ago because I'm now on xaralto and my wife is still on low dose aspirin.

My doctor keeps me on a low dose aspirin, one every other day. Last spring I got a new aortic valve and a Watchman device which covers the area in your heart that is known to produce clots. No more blood thinners for me, hurrah! The new valve and the Warcthman device were both inserted thru my groin, no open heart surgery, pretty amazing stuff!

I had a heart attack at age 45 and have had two bypass operations since. I take low2 dose aspirin daily on doctor recommendation. I am now the oldest in my family at age 87, and I go on 1 mile walks regularly. Works for me.
