long-term, LOW-INTENSITY warfarin to prevent recurrent venous thromboembolism (VT)

March 2003

You'll see more patients getting long-term, LOW-INTENSITY warfarin to prevent recurrent venous thromboembolism (VT).

Patients with a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism usually get heparin for 5 to 10 days...followed by warfarin for 3 to 12 months.

This is usually sufficient for thrombosis due to reversible factors such as surgery or trauma. But some patients remain at risk for recurrent thrombosis and could benefit from long-term treatment.
