Is Aspirin An Effective Alternative To Warfarin?

Gene technology or maybe stem cells that can target the deficiency?

Aspirin is not a effective alternative to warfarin, especially if you have Protein S deficiency/ Factor 5 Leiden. Alternativeto warfarin is Revaroxaban, which can be taken without monitoring PT/INR. Other option is to continue on Inj. Enoxaparin subcutaneously.
At present there is no gene therapy or stem cell therapy available to combat clots.
