Complications for ~15 percent of patients with post-catheterization femoral pseudoaneurysm
Among hospitalized patients

High Doses of Antibiotic Ups Risk of Over-Anticoagulation

High-dose amoxicillin/clavulanate combined with warfarin linked to increased risk of INR ≥4
The benefit of extended anticoagulation after pulmonary embolism dissipates after cessation of active therapy

Benefits of Extended Anticoagulation May Not Last

New study suggests that oral anticoagulant meds may be needed for the very long term
Kengreal (cangrelor) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prevent blood clots from forming during angioplasty.

Idarucizumab Deemed Effective for Dabigatran Reversal

Findings among patients with serious bleeding or who require an urgent procedure
Comprehensive computed tomography screening in addition to a limited occult-cancer screening offers no benefit over limited screening alone for patients with a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism. The finding was published online June 22 in the New England Journal of Medicine to coincide with the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis 2015 Congress

Prevalence of occult cancer low among patients with first unprovoked venous thromboembolism
Forgoing bridging anticoagulation therapy is noninferior to bridging with low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing an elective operation or invasive procedure. The finding was published online June 22 in the New England Journal of Medicine to coincide with the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis 2015 Congress

Forgoing Bridging Anticoagulation Noninferior in A-Fib

For patients with atrial fibrillation hospitalized with stroke or transient ischemic attack

Use of Novel Oral Anticoagulants Increasing in A-Fib

Findings in patients with atrial fibrillation hospitalized for stroke or transient ischemic attack
