Knowing the Facts About Venous Thrombosis Could Save Your Life. Take a look at this blog post and interview with Dr Deborah Siegal (@DebSiegal) in time for #WTDay23 https://t.co/RSlvyNuOTt
It’s the meetings, discussions, friendships and collaboration that only happen in person that makes #VASC23 the one conference not to be missed. Five days. Six hosts. And thousands of reasons to attend.

New 2023 ACR/EULAR Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) Classification Criteria are out!
Patients need at least 3 points each from the clinical and lab domains (See below) to be classified as having APS. This will be very useful to clinicians :)

Our SR/MA of dobutamine vs milrinone in CS. No difference between the 2 in RCTs. A signal for decreased mortality with milrinone and shorter LOS with dobutamine in observational data worth examining in larger studies. @benhibbertMDPhD@rebeccamathewmd

@acweyand My favorite is when my patient is profoundly iron deficient, but not yet anemic, and can't tolerate oral iron. Not covered. Have to wait until they're anemic. 🤦
ASA seems to be non-inferior to LMWH in preventing death and associated with low incidence of VTE in patients with pelvic or acetabular fracture or extremity fractures needing surgery #MedTwitter

Dr. @TzufeiWang demonstrated that among older adults with chronic kidney disease, DOAC use was associated with lower VTE and higher hemorrhage risk compared to LMWH following knee or hip arthroplasty at #ASH22@canvector@ThrombosisCan
Dr. Kovacs presenting the results of Catheter 3 study (N=70) at #ASH22
Apixaban showing promise in CVC-associated UEDVT in cancer patients with high preserved CVC function low risk of VTE (1.4%) and bleeding complications (MB 2.9% and CRNMB 5.7%).

Educational session in selected populations. Good talk on anticoagulation in women #ASH22. DO NOT STOP ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES AT TIME of START ANTICOAGULATION FOR VTE.
A5: There are 10+ million cases of #VTE each year making it a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. VTE Risk Assessments can reduce these numbers by determining if patients are at risk of developing a #bloodclot and by providing proper prophylaxis. #WTDay22#ClotChat
