Rate of recurrence after discontinuing anticoagulation in patients with venous thromboembolism within 30 days after COVID-19 vaccine

Eur J Clin Invest. 2024 Dec;54(12):e14310. doi: 10.1111/eci.14310. Epub 2024 Sep 4.

Abstract

This study generated evidence to guide anticoagulation in patients with VTE after vaccination for COVID-19. We provided data on the low recurrence rate after cessation of anticoagulant therapy and the findings for this study offer timely insights into the management of a potentially vaccine-related adverse event.

Keywords: COVID‐19; COVID‐19 vaccines; anticoagulation therapy; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism.
