Saving Lives with Guidelines? ISTH 2025: Prophylactic Anticoagulation Reduces VTE by 60% and Mortality by 56%

Marc Carrier posted on X:

”Implementation matters! A guideline-driven VTE prevention program (Vermont Model) led to ~60% of high-risk cancer patients receiving prophylactic anticoagulation—resulting in a 60% reduction in VTE and 56% reduction in death. ISTH 2025, VTE Prevention”

Marc Carrier, MD, MSc, FRCPC, urges us to adopt the Vermont Model for prophylactic anticoagulation, in pursuit of grand reductions in VTE and death among high-risk cancer patients.
