Low-Intensity DOACs in VTE: Sapienza University Reports Long-Term Outcomes
Friends of Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases Group shared a post by on LinkedIn:
“Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are widely used for the treatment and secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Here we report the long experience of Sapienza University in Rome.”
