     • Heparin and VKAs were the only anticoagulants available for most of the 20th century
     • Guidelines now prefer New Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) over VKAs for many indications
     • NOACs are contraindicated in ESRD patients and in patients with mechanical heart valves
     • Need remains for anticoagulants with a reduced bleeding risk especially in specific patient populations
