Complex Cases in VTE: Applications to Clinical Practice

In this accredited activity, a panel of experts in hematology/VTE and primary care debate and discuss the most appropriate approaches to a series of complex and challenging clinical scenarios, in which treatment of the patient with VTE can be highly nuanced. Participating in this activity will provide primary care clinicians with key knowledge and strategies for identifying treatment for a superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) based on size and location of the clot, as well as for navigating the challenges of long-distance travel in patients with a VTE. Panel members will also provide guidance for managing DVT prophylaxis in patients who require either major or minor orthopedic surgery; for treating patients who develop an upper extremity VTE from a PICC line insertion; and for being an active member of the multidisciplinary treatment team in patients with VTE and active cancer.
