What Treatment for Patients With Phlebitis or Pulmonary Embolism ?

Overview

The objective of the "anticoagchoice" study is to analyze the preferences of people suffering from phlebitis, in terms of anticoagulant, to improve adherence to these treatments, to adapt the medical prescriptions.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death, with an increase in annual incidence with age. With the advent of direct oral anticoagulants, the management of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism has evolved in recent years and these treatments are widely prescribed. There are studies comparing the different anticoagulant treatments used in venous thrombosis, which show no inferiority of treatment (injectable or oral) compared to others. Drug delivery modalities have been shown to affect adherence, and thus treatment efficacy. It seems fundamental to focus on patients' drug preferences in VTE to ensure the best possible compliance. These preferences seem to depend on the personal history of each patient. In addition, no studies have been conducted on patient preferences for anticoagulant therapy for VTE: this is the goal of the "anticoagchoice" study.
