The one thing that stands out for me is coagulation risk. I'm on microdose aspirin anyway, as is my wife; in general this does not seem like such a good idea for the general population as it did a few years ago, but in this situation it looks like it might make a difference, and it's about the only factor they look at that you can actually do anything about.
