Oral HRT increases venous thrombotic risk (VTE). Tibolone increases arterial but not VTE risk. Topical HRT showed no increase in either. Huge prospective Swedish study: 919,614 women of whom 77,512 started HRT. tinyurl.com/85jxatux #HRT

🧠💉 Pediatric CSVT most often affects neonates & young kids, often linked to head/neck infections. 🩸 Data from the Kids-DOTT trial suggest 6 weeks of anticoagulation is safe & effective, with no recurrent VTE or significant bleeding rpthjournal.org/article/S2475-…

Practice-changing paper in @nejm by Mahé Isabelle Marc Carrier API-CAT team proves that apixaban dose can be reduced after 6mo of anticoag rx with no loss of efficacy and less bleeding. Congrats to the team! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Treatment of VTE does NOT end at discharge! 💡We need a clinical framework in place to follow pts and allow for early detection of post VTE symptoms and patient reported concerns that impact Quality of Life #ISTH2025 #VTE #AnticoagStewrship

Is this the end of rivaroxaban for acute VTE? Lana Castellucci presenting the COBBRA trial - 1st RCT comparing apixaban to riva over 3 months. 56% reduction in bleeding risk with apixaban. A safer Rx with the same efficacy. #ISTH2025

🩸 Meta-analysis presented at #ISTH2025 and simultaneously published in EHJ Editor-in-Chief found that several risk factors (e.g., previous history of VTE or bleeding, advanced cancer, and specific cancer sites) are associated with recurrent VTE and bleeding in patients with CAT.

"Time is tissue" applies beyond MI and stroke. Dr. Bria et al. show ~2.7× higher odds of PE-related death in intermediate-risk PE when anticoagulation is delayed. It's time we emphasize Door-to-Anticoagulant in PE care. #ISTH2025 #ClassicalHem #MedTwitter

Do you dose reduce DOAC for extended prevention of VTE? 💙 Post hoc analysis of RENOVE trial of secondary prevention of VTE. ♥️ suggests low dose DOAC may be inferior to full dose among people with BMI >30. 💙 more data is needed #ISTH2025

🩸 New insights from the RENOVE trial (extended duration anticoagulation) at #ISTH2025: 📉 Reduced-dose DOAC is non-inferior in patients with BMI <30, with less bleeding risk. ⚠️ But in patients with BMI ≥30, reduced-dose may be inferior for bleeding and recurrent VTE. ➡️
