Rivaroxaban Improves Clinical Outcomes After COVID-19 Hospitalization
Risk for thrombotic events reduced after 35 days of rivaroxaban compared with no extended thromboprophylaxis
Thromboembolism
DOACs and VKAs Similarly Efficacious for Black Patients vs General Population
In a landmark trial presented at AHA 2021, researchers aimed to understand the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants vs vitamin K antagonists in Black patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism.

Risk factors for postdischarge VTE include history of VTE, peak D-dimer >3 µg/mL, predischarge CRP >10 mg/dL
Blood Transfusions in Kidney Transplant Recipients Raise VTE Risk
Receipt of any RBC transfusion was significantly associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism.
Therapeutic-Dose LMWH Cuts Thromboembolism, Deaths in COVID-19
Reduction in venous thromboembolism, arterial thromboembolism, and deaths seen in high-risk patients in non-ICU, but not ICU, settings
Extended Anticoagulation Tied to Major Bleeding Risk
Long-term risks and consequences are considerable for patients receiving VKA, DOAC after first unprovoked VTE
Adverse Events Associated With BNT162b2 Vaccination ID’d
Vaccination not associated with elevated risk for most of the adverse events examined; association found with increased risk for myocarditis, but risk higher in association with SARS-CoV-2 infection
COVID-19 Outcomes in Critically Ill No Better With Full-Dose Heparin
For patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who are not critically ill, therapeutic-dose anticoagulation is beneficial
Large PICC Size May Up Risk for Thrombosis in Cancer Patients
