Line-Related Thrombosis: How Long to Anticoagulate After?

Abdul Mannan, Consultant Haematologist at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, shared on LinkedIn:

Important clinical update on catheter-related thrombosis management

As clinicians, we often face questions about anticoagulation duration after catheter removal. The evidence suggests:

  • NCCN guidelines recommend a minimum 3-month treatment for thrombosis, particularly in active malignancy
  • Emerging evidence shows 1-month regimens may be sufficient in selected cases, with promising outcomes
  • Patient-specific factors matter: cancer remission status significantly reduces recurrence risk (2.3%)

Key considerations include balancing thrombosis recurrence (4.8% at 1 year) against major haemorrhage risks (2.8-4.9%)

What’s your experience with anticoagulation duration in these cases? Would love to hear colleagues’ perspectives.”
