Hematol/Thrombo:

Pulmonology:

Prandoni and colleagues found that fixed-duration OAT was associated with more VTE recurrences than flexible-duration OAT (17% vs 12%). Although other trials have suggested a potential role for repeated ultrasonography to stratify patients by recurrence risk, 2 large cohort studies have not supported this conclusion (1, 2). It may be premature to use residual vein obstruction (RVO) status on repeated ultrasonography to determine OAT duration...
