Alexander Cohen: How Long Should You Treat VTE?

Alexander Cohen, Consultant Physician at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“How long should you treat venous thromboembolism (VTE)?

Not simply 3–6 months or indefinitely.

The real challenge is balancing the risks of recurrent clots and bleeding.

Our two new JTH papers provide complementary dynamic risk prediction tools for recurrences and bleeding to support personalised treatment decisions throughout the VTE journey.”
