  • Factor Xa inhibitors are commonly used to treat venous thromboembolism (VTE), but a small percentage of patients experience treatment failure, prompting this study to explore the causes of recurrent VTE in those receiving FXaIs.
  • The study included ten patients, mostly young adults with significant underlying VTE risk factors despite initial assessments suggesting unprovoked VTE, highlighting conditions like thoracic outlet syndrome contributing to their risks.
  • Results indicated that treatment failure occurred within a few months, often leading to serious complications like chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and emphasized the importance of tailored treatment strategies and careful risk evaluation for patients with recurrent VTE.

Article Synopsis
  • Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) involves the compression of the subclavian vein, leading to potential vein thrombosis, with treatment primarily focusing on thoracic outlet decompression and rib resection.
