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!

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

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

Why do we have so little data on pregnancy and thrombotic outcomes in #APS?? Well-illustrated by State-of-the-Art lecture by dr Karen Breen. We MUST do better! #ISTH2025

Adjust-DVT study. Only 5% of patients with suspected #DVT had an age-adjusted d-dimer that omits the need for compression ultrasound. I don’t think it is worth it. What do you think? #ISTH2025

This is why diagnosing, treating and investigating #APS is so complicated. Massive differences in classification between Sydney 2006 and ACR/EULAR 2023. Only 40% of patients fulfilled the new criteria. What are the implications for future research? #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
