Influence of primary cancer site on clinical outcomes of anticoagulation for associated venous thromboembolism.

Introduction: The outcome of anticoagulation for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (Ca-VTE) differs according to cancer location, but data are limited and inconsistent.

Materials And Methods: Patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) enrolled between 03/01/2013 and 04/30/2021 were followed prospectively to assess VTE recurrence, major bleeding (MB), clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB), and death.

Results: There were 1702 (45.

Apixaban and Rivaroxaban in Patients With Acute Venous Thromboembolism.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of apixaban with those of rivaroxaban for the treatment of acute venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Patients And Methods: Consecutive patients enrolled in the Mayo Thrombophilia Clinic Registry (between March 1, 2013, and January 30, 2018) and treated with apixaban or rivaroxaban for acute VTE were followed forward in time. The primary efficacy outcome was VTE recurrence.
