Overview
Patients who are hospitalized for medical illness remain at risk for venous thromboembolism after discharge, but the role of extended thromboprophylaxis in the treatment of such patients is a subject of controversy.
This webinar aims to discuss the benefits and risks of extended thromboprophylaxis in acute medically ill patients with a focus on the recently published MARINER study.
Faculty:
Alex Spyropoulos
Gary E Raskob
Key Learning Objectives
- Describe the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following hospital discharge in the acutely medical ill.
- Identify acutely medical ill patients at significant risk for VTE after hospital discharge.
- Evaluate the recent MARINER trial, Rivaroxaban for Thromboprophylaxis After Hospitalization for Medical Illness, in context to previously published trials on extended VTE prophylaxis.
- Identify the benefits and risks of current therapies for extended VTE prophylaxis.
Target Audience
- Cardiology, Hospital Medicine, Pulmonary, Infectious Disease
- Endocrinology, Stroke Neurology
- Critical Care
- Internal and Family Medicine
- Nurse Practitioners and Mid-levels in Hospital Medicine
