This 0.5-hour, Whiteboard Animation Webcast is designed to review clinical trial and deal-world data for DOAC and other anticoagulation therapeutics for VTE. A majority of new diagnoses of VTE are made by primary care professionals. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of VTE include the most recent updates from the American Society of Hematology (ASH, 2020), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC, 2019), and the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP/CHEST, 2021). These guidelines recommend using DOACs as the first choice for anticoagulation in eligible VTE patients, and also give preference under risk-directed assessment to outpatient treatment. The use of DOAC monotherapy is implicitly straightforward and streamlined for continuity of care.
