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).
Nowadays, DOACs represent the gold standard for long-term anticoagulation, with low-intensity DOAC administration becoming increasingly used worldwide in such scenarios.
Although low-intensity apixaban and rivaroxaban are approved for clinical usage as secondary VTE prophylaxis, there is limited literature regarding their efficacy and safety with a long follow-up.
Here we report the long experience of Sapienza University in Rome.”
