”New Evidence on Long-Term Anticoagulation for Unprovoked VTE
We are pleased to share our recent BMJ publication demonstrating that continuation of oral anticoagulant therapy beyond the initial 90-day treatment period after a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with a significantly lower risk of recurrent thrombosis and all-cause mortality, compared with early discontinuation. Extended therapy, however, is also associated with a higher risk of major bleeding – underscoring the importance of individualized clinical decision-making.
