Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Teresa Carmen discusses the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE). She emphasizes the need for an individualized patient-centered approach, as not all VTE cases are the same. Dr. Carmen suggests using risk prediction tools and biomarkers for diagnosis and management. She also discusses the choice of anticoagulant therapy, taking into consideration comorbidities and the need for interventions. Dr. Carmen notes that anticoagulants should be started as soon as VTE is suspected, even before definitive testing is done. She discusses the diagnostic tests commonly used, such as duplex ultrasound, CTA, and VQ scan. Dr. Carmen also provides recommendations for the choice of anticoagulant therapy based on different patient scenarios and comorbidities. She highlights the importance of patient education, follow-up, and management of post-VTE events. Finally, she discusses the implications of factors like obesity, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, bariatric surgery, and cancer on the choice of anticoagulants.
