Incredibly interesting, mixed methods study on antithrombotic therapy (ATT) during advanced cancer care. Experienced clinicians we're more likely to deprescribe ATT & patient choice was a key decision maker in that action #SERENITY#Antithrombotic#anticoagulation#ISTH2025
Hot off the press! COBBRA trial showed that apixaban is associated with >50% reduced risk of clinically-relevant bleeding symptoms for acute VTE treatment. This can be practice changing!

Is this the end of rivaroxaban for acute VTE?
@LanaCastellucci presenting the COBBRA trial - 1st RCT comparing apixaban to riva over 3 months.
56% reduction in bleeding risk with apixaban.

These are the 'seats' for wheelchair users for a 3 hour+ train journey to Manchester. No seat to transfer into. No table for a cup of coffee or laptop to work. New trains should be better than this @tfwrail@Tanni_GT

🏥 The VTE Communication Guide was created to help clinicians navigate the complex conversations that follow a venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis from risk and treatment to emotions and uncertainty.
❤️ This project brings together insights from global experts across clinicians, mental health and communication experts, and patients' lived experiences to create a free, practical tool for any clinician who wants to improve how they connect with patients during a vulnerable time.
📣 The guide includes conversation tips, communication strategies, patient-friendly language, and real-world examples across different stages of care.
🔗 Learn more about the project and explore the full guide here: https://t.co/8Gwu2cY9aE and the companion publication in Lancet Haematology here: https://t.co/o16pzYWZZV.
💜 A huge thank you to the incredible contributors and reviewers who helped bring this guide to life. Your time, expertise, and dedication to patient-centered care are what make this resource so powerful.Let’s keep pushing for clearer, kinder, and more collaborative conversations in VTE care.
