Gregory Piazza Presents HI-PRO Trial Results on VTE at ESC Congress
Gregory Piazza, Director of the Vascular Medicine Section at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, posted on LinkedIn:
‘‘Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has traditionally been categorized as unprovoked and treated with extended anticoagulation or provoked and prescribed time-limited anticoagulation for 3 months.
What do we do with patients who have provoked events but other persistent risk factors like obesity or heart disease?
We answered this question in the HI-PRO randomized controlled trial presented in Madrid at the European Society of Cardiology Congress and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The culmination of 5 years of blood, sweat, and almost tears, it would not have been possible without an amazing team, my co-investigators and the Thrombosis Research Group team!”
