What an inspiring #ISTH2025! It was wonderful to host the global #thrombosis & #hemostasis community in DC. From the latest science & innovations to networking & building new collabs - it had it all! Look out for recordings & other post- @isth.org congress updates. Goodbye & see you @ #ISTH2026!
Marc Rodger highlighting the #Highlow study and providing guidance on how to implement the results 👌🏼
Now my favourite topic presented eloquently by prof Marc Rodger. Answering all the questions needed for providing well-informed information to your patients. Put the #LMWH needles away in patients with placenta-mediated complications in inherited #thrombophilia! #AFFIRM #ALIFE2 #ISTH2025
It took 7 years to recruit 51 patients for the IMPACT single-arm study on certiluzomab on top of LMWH-aspirin shows adverse outcome in 20% which is lower than non-contemporary controls. #ISTH2025
Implementation matters! A guideline-driven VTE prevention program (Vermont Model) led to ~60% of high-risk cancer patients receiving prophylactic anticoagulation—resulting in a 60% reduction in VTE and 56% reduction in death. #ISTH2025 #VTEprevention 🩸 @marycushmanmd.bsky.social
📣 ARIVA Trial at #ISTH2025: 🧪 First RCT on antithrombotic therapy post-venous stenting for PTS 🔵 6-month primary patency rate was higher than expected 💊 No added benefit of aspirin + rivaroxaban vs. rivaroxaban alone www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...
Meta-analysis on GLP-1RA (vs. placebo) and VTE: 🔹 PE rates significantly lower 📉 🔹 VTE rates lower but not statistically significant 🔹 No difference in DVT 🔹 Study design matters: RCTs vs. observational data Accepted for publication in JTH! #ISTH2025 #VTE #GLP1RA #Thrombosis @jthjournal.bsky.social
There is more to established #thrombophilia defects in understanding the genetics of venous thromboembolism #VTE. Plenary lecture by Prof Pierre Morange #ISTH2025
Tips for asking ?s as moderator #ISTH2025 Clinical talk: what future directions do you see this work taking? Basic science: how do you envision this translating to the clinic? Next level pro tip: contact author beforehand to see what they didn’t have time to present that they’d like you to ask
The effects of andexanet on enoxaparin are in line with effects on oral factorXa inhibitors. Great presentation by PhD student Thijs van Haaps #ISTH2025
Excellent points ⬇️ Exclusion of pregnant people from trials leads to paradoxical effects! #ISTH2025
There is still taboo about discussing menstruation 🩸 There are differences between assessment of abnormal uterine bleeding between professional societies. This is important to realisme and underscores the need to collaborate multidisciplinary. Dr Roseline d’Oiron #ISTH2025
Even if you are not a pediatrician, you can learn so much. Beautiful slides on thrombolysis 🤩 Dr Irene Klaassen #ISTH2025
Interesting data on influence of race from the RIETE registry. After correction for treatment etc, these differences did not show in multi-variate analysis. #ISTH2025
VTE isn’t “over” at discharge. Many patients face lasting symptoms & distress. 🗣️ PROMs help reveal what matters, if we use them right. ✅ Ask ✅ Act ✅ Guide care Structured models like Attend-PE show the way. #ISTH2025 #Thrombosis #PatientVoice
Dragons’s Den of the highly fruitful www.invent-vte.com netwerk. Collaboration leads to practice-changing trials!! #ISTH2025
This is what we were waiting for. A direct comparison between apixaban and rivaroxaban for the treatment of acute VTE. Apixaban reduces bleeding risk in the first 3 months by >50%! Practice changing investigator-initiated RCT. #ISTH2025
What a fantastic plenary lecture by Prof Jennifer Curnow - in loving and admiring memory of my dear friend Dr Claire McLintock. #ISTH2025
