With the problem being insufficiently studied as yet, the majority of therapeutic decisions as to the most efficient and safe methods of administering antithrombotic agents in the clinical situations involved are made based on the results of follow up of the patients, the data regarding peculiarities of the action of therapeutic agents, and common sense. Presented herein are contemporary recommendations on long-term antithrombotic therapy in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation and taking vitamin К antagonists and subjected to coronary stenting.
