Thromboprophylaxis in patients with cancer and CVC ACCP 9th Antithrombotic Guidelines: In outpatients with cancer and indwelling central venous catheters, we suggest against routine prophylaxis with LMWH or LDUH (GRADE 2B) and suggest against the prophylactic use of vitamin K antagonists (GRADE 2C)
Treatment: Current Recommendations The most current guidelines1 4 and expert reviews5 9 recommend LMWH for at least six months to treat VTE in pafents with acfve cancer. ExcepFons for compliance, cost, HIT VKAs are not recommended as first line therapy based on inferiority to LMWH in randomized trials. DOACs are not recommended due to lack of data in cancer pafents 1. Kearon C et al. CHEST 2016. 2.Lyman G et al. J Clin Oncol 2015; 3. NCCN Guidelines VTE v1.2015; 4.

Treatment Debate: LMWHs vs DOACs LMWH superior to CLOT 15 yrs old warfarin, based on 2 CATCH ARR lower, semi- RCTs confirmatory NOAC data versus warfarin is not cancer- specific Cancer subgroup analyses of NOAC RCTs have N similar to RCT True, but also means no RCTs No RCTs comparing showing LMWHs superior to NOACs to LMWHs NOACs Pooled analyses suggest NOACs also superior to warfarin in (Therefore) guidelines cancer Real- world data show < 1/3 of pafents remain on LMWHs at 3 recommend LMWH months monotherapy first- Cost of LMWH 2-3 fold higher line
CVC-associated Thrombosis 5% to 10% of VTE involves upper extremity/cvcs Secondary (provoked by catheters/cancer) accounts for 75% of cases. DVT in upper extremity is not harmless; complications include: Symptomatic PE (~5%) Recurrent DVT (~8%) Post-thrombotic syndrome ( ~20%) Paradoxically, CVCs are also associated with increased risk of bleeding
Management of upper-extremity thrombosis. Kamphuisen P W, and Lee A Y Y Hematology 2012;2012:638-644
Treating CVC-associated thrombosis In most patients with UEDVT associated with a CVC, we suggest that the catheter not be removed if it is functional and there is an ongoing need for the catheter (Grade 2C) In patients with UEDVT that involves the axillary or more proximal veins, we suggest a minimum duration of anticoagulation of 3 months over a shorter period (Grade 2B)
Treating CVC-associated Thrombosis In patients with cancer who have UEDVT that is associated with a CVC that is removed, we suggest 3 months of anticoagulation over a longer duration of therapy (Grade 2C). In patients with cancer who have UEDVT that is associated with a CVC that is not removed, we recommend that anticoagulation is continued as long as the CVC remains, over stopping after 3 months of treatment (Grade 1C)
Conclusions The problem is bigger than we imagined Unacceptably high burden VTE is an emerging major clinical problem Association with cancer outcomes, including mortality We have made progress Multiple RCTs have addressed prevention of CAT in the outpatient setting New technology/devices that reduce catheterassociated VTE can contribute to the solution
