The DOAC manufacturers didn't pursue approval for valve disease patients, so the result is the data on DOACs with valve disease is still pretty limited. There have been one or two studies, and those showed that apixaban and warfarin provide comparable protection, but most doctors wouldn't feel comfortable prescribing apixaban. They'd be standing on a thin branch if anything didn't go well, so they stick to warfarin for valve patients.
A shame, really, since the elderly would benefit the most from getting off warfarin and onto a DOAC since the bleed risks are lower.
