A 24-year-old woman with a mechanical bileaflet aortic valve prosthesis presents 14 weeks after her last menstrual period. A pregnancy test is positive. She takes warfarin 4 mg daily to maintain her INR between 2 and 3.
Which is the most appropriate therapy to prevent valve thrombosis at this point in the patient's pregnancy?
A Continue warfarin to maintain an INR of 2 to 3 B Replace warfarin with aspirin 325 mg daily C Replace warfarin with subcutaneous unfractionated heparin 5000 U twice daily D Add clopidrogrel 75 mg daily to current warfarin dose E Increase warfarin to maintain an INR of 3 to 4
