Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is a significant risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and poses unique challenges in anticoagulation management due to limited research on how extreme body weight affects medication outcomes.
  • This review focuses on patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg/m² or higher, analyzing various anticoagulants' dosages, efficacy, and safety for both prevention and treatment of VTE.
  • The study emphasizes the need for personalized treatment strategies and careful monitoring, especially for specific groups like cancer patients or those with kidney issues, given the insufficient evidence available for effective anticoagulant therapy in morbidly obese individuals.

The complexity of these developments is due, among other things, to the nature of these molecules and the small quantities available depending on their origin. In this context, this study focuses on the conditions for improving the detection of glycosaminoglycans on a miniaturized scale by mass spectrometry.
