Abstract:
Venous thromboembolism is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. It is an insidious and potentially life-threatening disease with a clinical course characterized by a risk of recurrence and long-term sequelae, such as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and post-thrombotic syndrome. Anticoagulant therapy is the cornerstone of venous thromboembolic disease management. This article summarizes current knowledge on the duration of anticoagulant therapy and available treatment strategies, based on recently published studies.
