How does cirrhosis and/or underlying thrombophilia affect your decision?
For example, for outpatients or resource-limited settings with a moderate probability 4-T score (but low clinical suspicion), would you ever consider ...
Would you offer indefinite anticoagulation if the event is unprovoked and the patient has low bleeding risk?
Provoked or unprovoked VTE: Do you use D-Dimer (or even repeat imaging to reassess residual clot) in any capacity to guide anticoagulation duration? E...
Is there data that it actually helps?
While there are many factors involving:- type (DVT vs PE, unprovoked vs provoked) and severity of venous thromboembolism (VTE) size- duration of antic...
Is there any difference between anticoagulants in this clinical context (e.g. anti-Xa inhibitors vs warfarin vs LMWH)?
