    1. Yes, anticoagulants can help prevent clot formation in VAD patients by reducing blood coagulability. They are monitored using tests like PT/INR to balance efficacy and bleeding risks.

    2. Anticoagulants are essential for VAD patients to prevent clots, with benefits outweighing risks if monitored through routine blood coagulation tests.
