The Hidden Risks of Blood Thinners and the Need for Safer Anticoagulants – National Blood Clot Alliance
National Blood Clot Alliance shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Blood thinners save lives—but they also carry serious, often preventable risks.
In this in-depth NBC News investigation, our president Leslie Lake is quoted highlighting a critical reality: bleeding events linked to anticoagulants aren’t rare—they happen every day and are too often dismissed as unavoidable complications.
The article underscores why patient education, ongoing oversight, and shared decision-making are essential today—and why the development of safer next-generation anticoagulants is so important for the future.
Reducing harm will require both.”
Teresa Bordeaux, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer at National Blood Clot Alliance, shared this post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Many of you have heard me talk about my husband and how he walks a thin line between bleeding and clotting. He has had several bleeds while on blood thinners and he was recently hospitalized for a scary mesenteric clot after stopping his blood thinner for a procedure. Larry is featured in this article.”
