Extra
- Continue anticoagulation for 3–6 months; extend based on risk factors
- Long-term LMWH is preferred in pregnancy
- DOACs include factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) and thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran)
- Use UFH initially in patients with renal insufficiency or those at high risk of bleeding (can quickly turn off pump and/or reverse with protamine)
- Real-life pearl: without insurance, DOACs cost about $100+ per month, while warfarin only costs $10 per month. Therefore, most uninsured patients end up on warfarin
- Major updates were made to this card to reflect the current guidelines for anticoagulation in DVT (Sep 2025)
