Overview
Secondary prevention strategies following acute thrombosis in patients with thrombophilia include anticoagulation.
Secondary Prevention
- Long-term therapy to prevent recurrence:
- 90% risk reduction: The standard therapy for patients with DVT or PE typically includes anticoagulation with warfarin for 3– 12 months at a target INR between 2-3 after initial heparinization course.
- Recurrences are less common after 6–12 months of discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy and when the initial event is associated with a transient risk factor such as surgery, trauma, etc.
