Epidemiology • Venous thromboembolism (VTE), clinically presenting as DVT
or PE, is globally the third most frequent acute cardiovascular syndrome behind myocardial infarction and stroke.
• Annual incidence rates for PE range from 39-115 per 100000
population; for DVT, incidence rates range from 53-162 per 100 000 population.
• The incidence of VTE is almost X8 higher in individuals aged
>_80 years than in the fifth decade of life. • PE may cause ~ 300 000 deaths per year in the US, ranking
high among the causes of cardiovascular mortality. In six European countries with a total population of 454.4 million, more than 370 000 deaths were related to VTE

In a cohort of 995 patients with PE that compared PESI with sPESI, 30-day mortality was reported in patients classified as low risk (1% ) or high risk (11%) Jiménez D, Aujesky D, Moores L, et al. Simplification of the pulmonary embolism severity index for prognostication in patients
with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism. Arch Intern Med 2010; 170:1383.
A composite model that incorporates sPESI, BNP, cardiac troponin I, and lower limb ultrasound (done within 48 hours of admission)
The combination of a low risk sPESI score and BNP <100 pg/mL identified patients at low risk of death, hemodynamic collapse, and/or recurrent PE at 30 days (negative predictive value 99 – 100%).
Thrombolysis for DVT?????
ACCP Guidelines1, published
January 2016:
Treatment of VTE in patients without cancer –
suggest use of dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban,
or edoxaban over VKA therapy (all Grade 2B)*
ACCP = American College of Chest Physicians; NOAC = non-VKA oral anticoagulant; VKA = vitamin K antagonist; VTE =
venous thromboembolism.
* Order of NOAC presentation is based on the chronology of publication of the phase 3 trials in VTE treatment and does not
reflect the guideline panel’s order of preference for the use of these agents

Summary of Acute Treatment
The duration of follow-up differed between trials therefore event rates should not be compared or interpreted as an indicator of the risk of the
population.

VTE Terminology and Risk Factors
Avoid terms such as ‘unprovoked’ or ‘idiopathic’ VTE.
Risk of recurrence is related to the risk factors predisposing to index PE:
Transient/reversible (usually setting-related)
Persistent (usually patient-related)
Risk factors further classified as:
Strong (OR > 10)
Moderate (OR 2-9)
Weak (OR < 2)

Risk Factors Classified by Risk of VTE Recurrence
Konstantinidis, et al. European Heart Journal 2019; 00: 161
Clinical disorders associated with Acquired (Secondary) Hypercoagulable States
• Nephrotic syndrome • Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia • Myeloproliferative disorders • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
More “genetic” thrombophilias…. • GWAS revealed several additional genetic polymorphisms
with borderline but measurable statistical association with VTE
• The non O-blood group status is the most common mild
predisposition. Two VTE associated loci, TSPAN15 and SLC44A2, increase also slightly the odds ratio for VTE (1.31 for TSPAN15 and 1.21 for SLC44A2, respectively).
• The ThromboGenomics group in the United Kingdom
using next generation sequencing and a high-throughput screening panel for genetic analysis of patients with coagulation, platelet or thrombotic disorders was able to identify a genetic diagnosis in 48.9% of patients with thrombotic disease.
Assessment • Clinical VTE is multifactorial and the sum of gene–gene and/or gene-environment interactions which
lead to overcome a threshold and trigger the event • In this framework of predisposing factors inherited thrombophilia interacts dynamically with
environmental factors, which are partly modifiable • Acquired predisposing factors for VTE—that may be classified in major/minor and
persistent/transient—play a different role in the presence of an inherited thrombophilia. • A minor risk factor may be sufficient to trigger an episode of VTE in a young patient typically in
association with a genetic risk factor. • On the other hand, most patients over 60 years may develop a VTE in the presence of one or more
acquired risk factors, even without an inherited thrombophilia • All patients with first should be evaluated clinically for thrombophilia. This starts with a careful
personal and family history for venous (or arterial) thrombosis, past clinical history, associated diseases and their prognosis, evaluation of acquired risk factors for VTE.
• A basic laboratory test is indicated in all patients . An important issue at this point is to carefully
select the patient who should be screened with supplementary thrombophilia specific laboratory tests.

What do the “old” guidelines say?
• Kearon C et al. Chest 2012:
• 3.1.4. In patients with an unprovoked DVT of the leg (isolated distal or proximal), we recommend treatment with anticoagulation for at least 3 months over treatment of a shorter duration (Grade 1B) . After 3 months of treatment, patients with unprovoked DVT of the leg should be evaluated for the risk-benefit ratio of extended therapy.
• 3.1.4.1. In patients with a first VTE that is an unprovoked proximal DVT of the leg and who have a low or moderate bleeding risk, we suggest extended anticoagulant therapy over 3 months of therapy (Grade 2B) .
• Kearon C et al. Chest 2016:
• In patients with a first VTE that is an unprovoked proximal DVT of the leg or PE and who have a (i) low or moderate bleeding risk, we suggest extended anticoagulant therapy (no scheduled stop date) over 3 months of therapy (Grade 2B), and a (ii) high bleeding risk, we recommend 3 months of anticoagulant therapy over extended therapy (Grade 1B).

Can we figure out the risk for recurrent
VTE in an individual patient without known
conventional risk factors?
• “Men continue and HERDOO2” Rule:
Men and women with 2 or more of the following are labeled
as “high risk of recurrent VTE”:
1) Hyperpigmentation, Edema or Redness in either leg (PTS)
2) Vidas Ddimer > 250 ug/ml
3) Obesity with BMI > 30 kg/m2
4) Older than age 65
• During a mean follow-up interval of 5.0 years, annualized
risk of recurrent VTE of 5.0% (95% CI:4.2-5.8%).
• The cumulative risk of recurrent VTE at 8 years was
29.6%
• In total study population, male gender was the strongest
predictor of recurrence. Men had a 7.6% (95% CI: 6.3-
9.2%) annual risk of recurrent VTE in mean follow-up of
4.4 years compared to 2.8% (95% CI: 2.2% to 3.7%) in
women in a mean follow-up of 5.6 years (RR: 2.7; 95% CI
2.0- 3.7).
Vienna Prediction Model for Recurrent VTE
• Eichinger et al, multicenter prospective cohort study of 929 consecutive patients with a first episode of unprovoked VTE.
• Risk factors for recurrence: • Male sex (HR 1.90, 95 % confidence interval 1.31–2.75)
• Proximal DVT (HR 2.08, 95 % confidence interval 1.16–3.74)
• PE (HR 2.60, 95 % confidence interval 1.49–4.53)
• Elevated D-dimer (HR per doubling 1.27, 95 % confidence interval 1.08–1.51).
• Using these factors they have developed a web-based risk prediction calculator (Vienna Prediction Model for Recurrent VTE) that is available on the web (http://cemsiis.meduniwien.ac.at/en/kb/science-research/software/clinical-software/recurrent-vte/)

NOAC dose in extended anticoagulation
A IIa
If extended oral anticoagulation is decided after PE in a patient without cancer, a reduced dose of the NOACs apixaban (2.5 mg b.i.d.) or rivaroxaban (10 mg o.d.) should be considered after 6 months of therapeutic anticoagulatione.
Level Class Recommendations
B IIa
Rivaroxaban (20 mg once daily), dabigatran (150 mg twice daily, or 110 mg twice daily for patients ≥80 years of age or those under concomitant verapamil treatment) or apixaban (2.5 mg twice daily) should be considered as an alternative to VKA (except for patients with severe renal impairment) if extended anticoagulation treatment is necessary.
e If dabigatran or edoxaban is chosen for extended anticoagulation after PE, the dose should remain unchanged, as reduced-dose regimens were not investigated in dedicated extension trials.
1. Konstantinidis, et al. European Heart Journal 2019; 00: 161; 2. Konstantinidis, et al. European Heart Journal 2014; 35: 3033-69
Assessment of Bleeding Risk
Risk is higher in the first month of anticoagulant treatment, then declines and stabilizes.
Risk factors include advanced age, previous bleeding or anemia, active cancer, NSAIDs etc.
Bleeding risk should be assessed at the time of anticoagulation initiation, and periodically.
Assessment should be used to identify and treat modifiable bleeding risk factors, and it may
influence decision-making on the duration and regimen/dose of anticoagulant treatment.
Konstantinidis, et al. European Heart Journal 2019; 00: 161
To summarize… • Anticoagulation regimens at intensities tailored to the patients' risk profiles
and VTE characteristics, with a shift of the risk-benefit balance in favor of extended treatment.
• A major challenge is to identify patients who would benefit most from
extended treatment. • In the decision-making process, it should be considered that the risk of
recurrence is greatest in the first months after the withdrawal of anticoagulant therapy, with an incidence of approximately 5-7% per year in patients with a first unprovoked event. However, the haemorrhagic risk remains unchanged over time
• Furthermore, the risk of death associated with recurrence of VTE (case-
fatality rate: 5.1%) tends to decrease over time. Conversely, the mortality rate associated with haemorrhagic complications (9.1-11%) remains stable.
• Individual haemorrhagic risk is difficult to predict, and currently, the available
bleeding risk scores have only a modest predictive value for patients with VTE.

• Randomized open-label multicenter noninferiority study with blinded end point adjudication. • Rivaroxaban, 20 mg once daily (15 mg once daily based on kidney function) was compared with warfarin
(INR target 2.5) for the prevention of thromboembolic events, major bleeding, and vascular death in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome.
• Only high-risk patients triple positive for lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, and anti–b2-glycoprotein I antibodies (triple positivity) were included in the study.
• The trial was terminated prematurely after the enrollment of 120 patients (59 randomized to rivaroxaban and 61 to warfarin) because of an excess of events among patients in the rivaroxaban arm.
• Mean follow-up was 569 days. There were 11 (19%) events in the rivaroxaban group, and 2 (3%) events in the warfarin group. Thromboembolic events occurred in 7 (12%) patients randomized to rivaroxaban (4 ischemic stroke and 3 myocardial infarction), whereas no event was recorded in those randomized to warfarin.
• Major bleeding occurred in 6 patients: 4 (7%) in the rivaroxaban group and 2 (3%) in the warfarin group. • The use of rivaroxaban in high-risk patients with antiphospholipid syndrome was associated with an
increased rate of events compared with warfarin, thus showing no benefit and excess risk.
• ASTRO-APS (Apixaban for Secondary Prevention of Thrombosis Among Patients with Antiphospholipid Syndrome) is an open-label randomized trial evaluating apixaban vs usual care for prevention of recurrent thrombosis after at least 6 months of initial anticoagulation (www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT02295475).
• After enrolling the first 25 patients, a preplanned DSMB review recommended an increase from apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily to apixaban 5 mg twice daily.
• After a higher than expected rate of stroke in 5 subsequent patients, an unplanned DSMB review recommended changing the enrollment criteria to exclude patients with prior arterial thrombosis and to obtain brain MRI prior to enrollment to exclude stroke or white matter changes disproportionate for age
• Our understanding of this disease is further complicated by our lack of knowledge of its pathophysiology. Although various hypotheses have been proposed for the mechanism by which thrombosis and/or pregnancy loss occur, agreement on its basic biology is far from universal.
• Studies in patients with APS are difficult to perform because the condition is rare, and patients suffer from a spectrum of clinical
disorders, only some of which will qualify them for studies of anticoagulants (eg, patients may present with both new thromboses and profound thrombocytopenia or may have exclusively pregnancy morbidity).
• Patients suspected of having APS should have the diagnosis confirmed by objective testing performed in expert laboratories. A large
proportion of patients, perhaps a majority of them labeled as having APS, do not in fact have the disorder, either because the testing was inadequate (usually only a single test that demonstrated a low-titer anticardiolipin antibody without confirmation) or because they were tested while they were receiving anticoagulants. These patients who do not in fact have the disorder represent a low-risk group for recurrent thrombosis and are probably adequately treated with a DOAC
• Patients with true APS with a more profound prothrombotic state are probably at particularly high risk of thrombosis. • These patients are best treated with warfarin administered to achieve a target INR of 2.0 to 3.0. • Whether aspirin should be added to the treatment for those patients who had prior arterial thrombosis remains unknown. Evidence
suggest that aspirin added to warfarin may be beneficial in some patients. • Dose intensification of DOACs might be considered, and the use of DOACs combined with an antiplatelet agent might also be considered. However, such strategies would require testing in adequately powered clinical trials. • Until such studies are performed, this study reaffirms that warfarin administered with a target INR of 2.0 to 3.0 remains the standard for
the prevention of thrombosis in higher-risk patients with APS.
• The pathogenesis of thromboembolic disease in APS, HIT, and PNH differs from that of the general VTE population and includes cellular- and/or complement-mediated mechanisms. There is a higher incidence of ATE as well as recurrent VTE while on anticoagulation when compared with other thrombotic conditions.
• Unlike warfarin, DOACs have only 1 molecular target so could be less effective in potent
thrombophilic states. • Anticoagulant doses needed to prevent arterial thrombosis are higher, so DOACs may not
be adequate. • Lastly, DOACs’ short half-lives may theoretically lead to additional “breakthrough”
thrombosis and anticoagulation failures.
However….
• Two of the largest studies published in low-risk APS populations have reported reassuring VTE recurrence rates with DOAC use.
• An open-label trial evaluated 116 patients randomized to rivaroxaban or warfarin for secondary VTE prevention with a primary surrogate outcome of percentage change in endogenous thrombin potential. Patients with ATE or recurrent VTE were excluded. The endogenous thrombin potential was higher in the rivaroxaban group than in the warfarin group and did not reach the set non-inferiority threshold of ,20% difference. Although underpowered for clinical events, there were no thrombotic events or major bleeding reported after 210 days in 54 APS patients who received rivaroxaban. (Cohen H, Hunt BJ, Efthymiou M, et al; RAPS trial investigators. Rivaroxaban versus warfarin to treat patients with thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome, with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (RAPS): a randomised, controlled, open-label, phase 2/3, non-inferiority trial. Lancet Haematol. 2016;3(9):e426-e436.)
• A multicenter prospective cohort of 82 APS patients with a history of VTE were treated with rivaroxaban for secondary VTE prevention. No patients were triple positive, and 5 patients had a history of ATE. There were 4 thromboembolic events (2 cerebrovascular and 2 VTE) in 129.8 patient-years of follow-up, a rate similar to previous studies evaluating warfarin.
• A recent guidance statement from the 14th International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies Task Force recommends that warfarin remain the current standard of care. DOACs may be considered when there is a known VKA allergy/intolerance or poor anticoagulant control.
• There may be a role for DOACs for secondary VTE prevention in a carefully selected subgroup of low-risk APS patients, such as those with a single unprovoked VTE and low-risk antibody profile and no history of arterial thrombotic disease or neurological symptoms possibly related to small-vessel arterial disease. However, given the limited evidence and possible risk of arterial thrombosis, a detailed patient discussion outlining the risks and benefits is warranted.
• Unlike the general VTE population where dose reduction of DOACs may be an option after 6 months of initial anticoagulation, in APS patients, follow the product monographs and not recommend dose reduction of DOACs due to the absence of data and potential for recurrent thrombosis.

VTE-AL
• About 4% of VTE cases involve other venous territories, sometimes called venous thromboembolism of atypical location (VTE-AL), with sites that include splanchnic, renal, gonadal, and cerebral venous segments.
• VTE-AL cases are commonly associated with malignancy
• As opposed to proximal leg DVT and PE, which have well established therapeutic recommendations based on RCT data, recommendations regarding the method, intensity, and duration of anticoagulation for VTE-AL are less well established.
• All major clinical trials with DOACs have studied only patients with proximal leg DVT, PE, or both. As a result, no RCT data are available for the efficacy and safety for VTE-AL.
Cerebral Vein Thrombosis
• CVT refers to thrombosis occurring in the cerebral veins and the dural venous sinuses (superior sagittal sinus (37–62%) lateral sinuses (31–44%)) . CVT is responsible for around 1% of all strokes.
• Incidence of CVT 13.2–15.7 cases per million persons per year, increase is probably correlated with the progress in radiological investigations.
• CVT is more common in women, with a female/male ratio of about 3:1, and a mean age of 40 y
• The presence of intracranial hemorrhage at the time of CVT diagnosis reported in 20–39% of patients
Risk factors • CVT can be secondary to local or systemic risk factors, and in >40% of cases is a multifactorial
disorder:
– Local risk factors : infections (8–12% of patients), such as infections of the ears, sinuses, mouth, face, neck, or the CNS.
– Mechanical causes (2–5% of patients): head trauma, lumbar puncture, jugular vein
catheterization, and neurosurgical interventions – CNS malignancies (2%) and other CNS disorders (e.g., AVM or dural fistulae) . – Sex-specific risk factors, such as pregnancy/ puerperium and hormonal treatments (such as
OCT or HRT), are reported in 10–17% and 50–53% of women with CVT, respectively. – Thrombophilia is responsible for approximately a third of cases. A recent meta-analysis
reported a strong association, although derived from observational studies only, between the development of CVT and factor V Leiden (OR 2.89, 95% CI 2.10–3.97), prothrombin G20210A mutation (OR 6.05, 95% CI 4.12–8.90), antithrombin deficiency (OR 3.75, 95% CI 1.02–13.82), protein C deficiency (OR 8.35, 95% CI 2.61–26.67), protein S deficiency (OR 6.45, 95% CI 1.89–22.03), and hyperhomocysteinemia (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.32–6.75). Data on antiphospholipid antibodies in CVT patients are scarce.
– The combined presence of thrombophilic abnormalities and oral contraceptive use can further increase the risk of developing CVT.
– Although the presence of JAK2V617F mutation has been identified in 6.6% of CVT patients,
only 3.8% had a diagnosis of MPN throughout their lives
Treatment • The latest guidelines on the treatment of adult patients with CVT were released by the
European Stroke Organization (ESO), endorsed by the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), and published in 2017
• They recommended anticoagulant treatment with therapeutic heparin during the
acute phase of CVT, despite the presence of intracerebral hemorrhage and LMWH, if no contraindication or planned surgery, then VKA
• DOAC were not recommended for CVT treatment • thrombolysis may be considered as a second line option in CVT causing progressive
clinical deterioration despite anticoagulant treatment • More than 80% of CVT patients achieved recanalization, either complete or partial,
which was associated with a good functional recovery. However, it is still unclear whether the lack of recanalization should influence anticoagulant treatment duration, as the evidence on its correlation with CVT recurrence was scarce
• Approximately 3% of CVT patients had a recurrent CVT, whereas an additional 7% had
a DVT and/or PE, corresponding to an incidence rate of recurrent VTE of 2.03 per 100 person-years. Most of recurrent thrombotic events occurred in the first year after anticoagulant treatment discontinuation. Duration of AC?????
Treatment • Taken together, the results of these studies showed that the rates of recurrent CVT and VTE were
low during anticoagulant treatment.
• The use of the DOACs was associated with extremely variable rates of excellent neurological outcomes (64.1–100% of patients) and major bleeding events (0–8.3% of patients); thus, larger studies are needed to support these findings.
• The 2017 ESO guidelines suggested a variable anticoagulant treatment duration between 3 and 12 months (weak recommendation), which can be prolonged in patients with recurrent VTE or persistent prothrombotic conditions.
• Previous guidelines, released by the European Federation of the Neurological Societies (EFNS) in 2010 and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) in 2011, suggested 3-6 months of anticoagulant treatment for CVT secondary to transient risk factors, 6-12 months for unprovoked CVT, and indefinite duration for recurrent CVT or VTE or severe thrombophilia.
• These recommendations are supported by the non-negligible risk of recurrent VTE and are partly derived from the treatment of usual site VTE.
Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis
• Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) consists of 5 types: mesenteric vein, splenic vein, portal vein, hepatic vein thrombosis, and Budd–Chiari syndrome
• SVT is the most common form of VTE-AL. PVT has the highest incidence rates (1.73 and 3.78 per 100,000 persons per year in females and males, respectively), BCS showed very low incidence rates (around 1–2 cases per million persons per year).
• MVT more frequently reported in older people in their sixties/seventies, whereas patients with BCS usually in their thirties/forties. PVT more common in males (male/female ratio around 1.5–2:1), whereas a slightly predominance of females has been reported for BCS (male/female ratio around 1:1.3-2)
Risk factors:
• liver cirrhosis (24–27%)
• Solid cancer (22–27% )
• recent abdominal surgery and abdominal infections or inflammation (e.g., pancreatitis, cholecystitis, appendicitis, diverticulitis, liver abscesses, inflammatory bowel diseases).
• MPN represent the most common systemic risk factor, being present in 40.9% of BCS and 31.5% of non-malignant non-cirrhotic PVT. In particular, the JAK2V617F mutation was reported in 37–45% of BCS and 24–34% of PVT.
• PNH is another hematological disorder that can predispose to the development of SVT, particularly BCS. However, the prevalence of PNH among SVT patients is <1%
• Thrombophilic disorders: A strong association between the presence of factor V Leiden and the development of BCS (OR 6.21, 95% CI 3.93–9.79), non-cirrhotic PVT (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.09–3.13), and cirrhotic PVT (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.29–5.07), whereas prothrombin G20210A mutation was associated only with non-cirrhotic PVT (OR 5.01, 95% CI 3.03–8.30). A strong association for the development of PVT and antithrombin deficiency (OR 8.89, 95% CI 2.34–33.72), protein C deficiency (OR 17.63, 95% CI 1.97–158.21), and protein S deficiency (OR 8.00, 95% CI 1.61-39.86). The role of antiphospholipid antibodies still needs to be better elucidated.
• oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, pregnancy/puerperium play an important role, especially for BCS.
• in around 15–27% of SVT, no risk factor can be identified, and these cases are classified as “unprovoked” SVT
Worse prognosis than VTE-TL • The mortality rate reported after an episode of SVT is higher than in the general population, both in the
short- (30 days) and long-term (up to 20 years). In a Danish cohort study, the 30-day risk of mortality for SVT patients was 20.6% vs. 0.7% for the comparison cohort, matched for a number of comorbidities. In particular, MVT was associated with the highest short-term mortality rate (63.1% at 30 days), whereas PVT showed the highest mortality rate in the long term(e.g., 23.1% at 1 year, 27.2% at 5 years). This finding can be explained by the fact that MVT can be complicated by acute bowel infarction in around a third of patients.
• The incidence of arterial or venous thrombotic events after SVT in a multicentre international
unselected cohort was 7.3 per 100 patient-years (95% CI 5.8–9.3). The risk of further thrombotic events being the highest in patients with liver cirrhosis (11.3 per 100 patient-years), followed by solid cancer (7.6 per 100 patient-years), unprovoked SVT (6.3 per 100 patient-years), MPN (5.9 per 100 patient-years), and SVT associated with transient risk factors (3.2 per 100 patient-years).
• A recent cohort study of 181 patients with MPN and SVT highlighted that the rate of thrombotic
complications is quite high even during VKA treatment (3.9 per 100 patient-years). • SVT patients are also at higher risk of bleeding compared to patients with usual site VTE, both in the
short- (30 days) and long-term (up to 10 years). The 30-day risk of bleeding for SVT patients was 4.3% vs. 0.5% for usual site VTE. A higher incidence of arterial cardiovascular events was also reported, the 30-day risk was 3.3% for SVT patients vs. 0.9% for usual site VTE
• Management of SVT is difficult. On the one hand, the high incidence of malignancy confers a high prothrombotic risk, and on the other, coexistence of liver cirrhosis with varices (secondary to portal hypertension) and thrombocytopenia (secondary to hypersplenism) increases the risk of bleeding.
Treatment • The latest guidelines on the treatment of patients with SVT were published by the European
Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) in 2016. • In patients with non-malignant non-cirrhotic PVT, they recommended starting anticoagulation
immediately with LMWH, if no major contraindication, and to continue with VKA (INR target range 2.0–3.0) for at least 6 months. In cirrhotic patients, adequate prophylaxis of gastrointestinal bleeding should be instituted before starting anticoagulation.
• Initial treatment of patients with BCS consists of anticoagulation; however, in non-responsive
patients with progressive liver deterioration, a stepwise approach should be followed: (1) medical treatment, (2) endovascular procedures (e.g., angioplasty, stenting, thrombolysis), (3) transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), and (4) liver transplant.
• MVT - anticoagulation should be the first line treatment of MVT, starting with LMWH or preferably
UFH, because in the early phase a laparotomy for bowel necrosis might be required. About 5% of patients deteriorate despite medical treatment and they are candidates for endovascular procedures (such as thrombolysis, angioplasty, thrombectomy, or TIPS). Switching to oral anticoagulants, either VKA (or DOAC???), is suggested after the acute phase (2–3 weeks).
• Cirrhotic patients are associated with the highest risk of major bleeding and recurrent thrombotic events. However, this increased risk of bleeding should not prevent anticoagulant treatment . A meta-analysis of eight studies reported no significant difference in the rate of any bleeding between treated and untreated cirrhotic patients with PVT (11% in both groups) and a recent study on 182 cirrhotic patients with PVT showed similar rates of major bleeding events among treated and untreated patients (21.8% and 19.7%, respectively)
DOAC & SVT • Although the use of DOACs in patients with SVT is
still limited, it is better documented than in any other group of VTE-AL.
• Taken together, the results of these studies suggest extremely variable rates of recurrent SVT (0–11.1%), major bleeding (0–9.1%), and recanalization (68.8–100%), which can be partly explained by the large heterogeneity among the different cohorts.
• There is an ongoing interventional study evaluating
the use of rivaroxaban in patients with non-cirrhotic SVT (NCT02627053).
In practice… • The 2016 EASL guidelines suggested considering an anticoagulant treatment duration of at least 6 months
• Extend lifelong in patients with BCS, strong prothrombotic conditions (including persistent risk factors, such as MPN), recurrent VTE, intestinal ischemia or involvement of the superior mesenteric vein, and in cirrhotic patients eligible for liver transplant
• After assessing the risk of bleeding, start anticoagulant treatment for SVT in the acute phase with LMWH, together with adequate prophylaxis of variceal bleeding, if needed.
• In patients with thrombocytopenia, a reduced dose of LMWH might be required.
• consider UFH in patients with recent bleeding, severe renal failure, or potential candidate for surgery (such as those with extensive bowel infarct).
• After clinical stability, switch the majority of patients to VKA, with the exception of those with cancer-associated SVT, severe thrombocytopenia, or severe liver disease.
• Pending more evidence on the use of the DOACs and on the basis of the results of RCTs conducted on usual site VTE, consider the use of factor-Xa inhibitors in selected patients without severe liver or renal impairment and at low bleeding risk.
• The majority of SVT patients are candidates for long-term anticoagulation, having either a major persistent risk factor, an unprovoked SVT, or a BCS; however, shorter duration of 3–6 months in those with transient risk factors (such as recent abdominal surgery or abdominal inflammation/infections).
There are two widespread fallacies pertaining to cirrhosis and anticoagulation: the first is that cirrhosis is a contraindication to anticoagulation due to an increased bleeding risk. The second is that those with an elevated INR do not require anticoagulation because they are already “auto-anticoagulated.” Both of these common misconceptions among the medical community have recently been dispelled
