How long would you anticoagulate a patient with recurrent VTE who has ongoing risk factors for intracranial bleeding?  

What would be your preferred anticoagulation agent?

Has a history of intracranial hemorrhages in the absence of anticoagulation due to abnormal anatomy (cavernous hemangiomas), although no recent bleeding. Initial VTE was an unprovoked subsegmental PE found 3 months prior that was not treated due to bleeding risk. Now with a provoked large saddle PE after major lung surgery, with a clot remaining despite thrombectomy.
