The introduction of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) in antithrombotic therapy is one of the major recent milestones in the general pharmacopeia [1]. Despite several papers about real-life use and impact of NOACs have been published, showing overall consistency with data reported in the RCTs, data coming from Italian daily clinical practice are still scarce [2,3].
