Do you do additional workup for venous obstruction or any other different testing/evaluation?
Estimating blood loss from hemoptysis is not always reliable. The bleeding may be due to the PE itself. Is anticoagulation with any degree of hemoptys...
While follow up ultrasound is not usually recommended in provoked DVT, it often is done either for other reasons or by other physicians. Would this in...
What is the work up and what is the duration of anticoagulation if used?
Specifically, asymptomatic subsegmental PE diagnosed within a month from planned bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer.
Would you consider low dose indefinite anticoagulation in any scenario? Any difference in approach between hematological malignancy and solid tum...
- Dialysis catheter used for hemodialysis- RIJ thrombus in dialysis catheter was incidentally found- Patient asymptomatic with no prior history of VTE...
If so, what would you consider ordering?
How does cirrhosis and/or underlying thrombophilia affect your decision?
For example, for outpatients or resource-limited settings with a moderate probability 4-T score (but low clinical suspicion), would you ever consider ...
Would you offer indefinite anticoagulation if the event is unprovoked and the patient has low bleeding risk?
Provoked or unprovoked VTE: Do you use D-Dimer (or even repeat imaging to reassess residual clot) in any capacity to guide anticoagulation duration? E...
Is there data that it actually helps?
While there are many factors involving:- type (DVT vs PE, unprovoked vs provoked) and severity of venous thromboembolism (VTE) size- duration of antic...
Is there any difference between anticoagulants in this clinical context (e.g. anti-Xa inhibitors vs warfarin vs LMWH)?
Does having a concurrent consumptive process e.g. DIC change your management?
Do you follow the 2019 EULAR Guidelines that SLE patients with asymptomatic, positive aPL should be on low-dose ASA?
While thrombophilia testing is not routinely recommended prior to starting OCPs, how about after the development of a VTE?

Would you approach this differently in patients with inherited thrombophilias?
Is there a preferred strategy of transfusional support versus reduced-dose anticoagulation during the duration of thrombocytopenia?
Would it make a difference if the VTE diagnosis occurs during bevacizumab therapy or whether it preceded the cancer diagnosis?
