Pulmonary Embolism Venous thromboembolism (VT) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death Since pulmonary embolism (PE) is, in most cases, the consequence of a deep venous thrombosis (DVT), most of the existing data are derived from studies that have examined VTE as a whole Oral anticoagulant (OAC) treatment is the mainstay for the treatment of VTE.
Anticoagulant (AC) Treatment phases of VTE Active treatment phase: To suppress the acute episode of thrombosis Acute Long term Pure secondary prevention: To prevent new episodes of VTE, that are unrelated to the index event Extended use 5 Days 3 Months > 3 Months, Indefinite Goldhaber SZ et al, Lancet 2012

Guidelines Provoked PE: 3 Months (IB) Unprovoked PE: At least 3 Months (IA) - 1 st Episode: Indefinite, low bleeding risk (IIaB) - 2 d Episode: Indefinite (IB) PE in cancer patients: Continue until the cancer is considered under control and possibly cured (IIaC) Extended AC: NOACs preferred over warfarin (IIB) Take in consideration pts s preference ACCP 2016, ESC 2014, CHEST 2016
Conclusions Recurrence VTE risk remains high in the long-term period, following AC treatment cessation Pts with unprovoked or cancer-associated VTE should receive extended treatment VKA are highly effective for prevention of recurrence, but with a significant bleeding risk NOACs overcome the limitations of VKA and are safer drugs, extending the indication of AC to a broader population We should continue to optimize the tools for selected candidates for indefinitive treatment, integrating both the recurrence and bleeding risk
