Mr., thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Taking drugs like warfarin and rivaoxaban is to prevent development of clots in the vessels (deep veins). Aspirin helps in again prevention of clotting. The filter suggested by probably a vascular surgeon helps in preventing the clots moving through the lower limb veins to wards lung. So all these means are useful and can be used together. Best option is talk to a good vascular surgeon. Thanks.

With warfarin you have to monitor pt inr to adjust the dose. With evarox no need of monitoring, it is newer medicine introduced in india and is better and safer choice for patients like you. Ivc filter is a filter like device they will put in inferior vena cava (main blood vessel carrying blood from lower limbs and lower part of body) to prevent any clot from your deep veins, reaching lungs (pulmonary embolism, causing acute emergency. It is invasive procedure carried out by a cardiologist.
