BLOOD THINNING MEDICATION

US FDA approves Abbott's aspirin free regimen for patients with HeartMate 3 heart pump

​The ARIES-HM3 trial showed that patients who received the HeartMate 3 heart pump but didn't take aspirin as part of their blood-thinning medication regimen had nearly 40 per cent fewer complications from bleeding without increasing the risk of forming a blood clot compared to patients who also received a HeartMate 3 but did take aspirin.
