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

More on pregnancy and #APS, now from obstetric perspective. Only 1% of recurrent miscarriage patients had APS antibodies, similar to controls. #ISTH2025

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

It’s really worth stopping by our @isth.org booth and get inspired for next year’s meeting in….. Paris! #ISTH2025

What started as strong Mendelian observations, has now evolved to a strongly polygenenic etiology of #VTE. Inside and outside the coagulation cascade. #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

The effects of andexanet on enoxaparin are in line with effects on oral factorXa inhibitors. Great presentation by PhD student Thijs van Haaps #ISTH2025

State-of-the-Art talk bij de Luuk Scheres Despite hormone use being the most prevalent and important risk factor for #VTE in women <50, there is huge underrepresentation of risk models and funding. Food for thought and action 💪🏼 #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

Good morning everyone! Another exciting day ahead #ISTH2025. Thirty years ago I visited my first @isth.org Congress. 📣 This morning, I can switch sessions to see two of my former PhD students shine in State-of-the-Art sessions. We take good care of the next generation @isth.org!

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

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

Intriguing findings from a high-quality prospective study on SVT in #pregnancy and #postpartum. Incident higher, heterogeneous treatment, but low rate of #DVT and #PE. I was surprised and so were the authors. Would love to see the full results. #ISTH2025

Having fun and enjoying excellent science #ISTH2025 now on to my favourite topic #pregnancy and #thrombosis. Interesting cohort study on #LMWH - with therapeutic dose postpartum - still VTE. I think it could be a problem with adherence even though this was assessed by self-reporting

I have been quiet on the socials for a while, but very excited to be on my way to @isth.org #ISTH2025 ✈️. Let's hope that Bluesky gets to fly too! And I also just realized that it has been 30 years since my first @isth.org meeting in 1995. I haven't missed one single congress. #thrombosis

Extended-dose DOAC vs full-dose DOAC #Renove trial #ASH24 Late breaking abstract. Officially, reduced dose was not non-inferior, but recurrent #VTE rates were low and there is a substantial reduction in major and non-major bleeding. Congratulations to the French colleagues of #Innovte!

Is it allowed to say we had a fantastic educational session on #hormone related #VTE with Dr Leslie Skeith and Dr Joseph Shatzel #ASH24? A packed room and loads of interaction. Sorry we couldn’t handle all online questions 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Saying hi to our amazing @isth-official.bsky.social team #ASH24, and look what they had in store fore me! The must-have coagulation clock designed by @jhmorrissey.bsky.social. Join us in Washington DC in June 2025. This will be the PREMIER event in #thrombosis and #haemostasis of 2025!!

Session on genetic risk factors for #VTE #ASH24. First abstract presentation on ARIC cohort. CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential) is not rare but only modest increase for VTE in older adults. Key message: not worth screening for it.

The finding favouring LBMT arises from 2 components: 1) lower rates of clinical deterioration and/or escalation to bailout therapy and 2)) less frequent ICU admissions and shorter postprocedural ICU lengths of stay. NO differences in in-hospital mortality ⚰️ or major bleeding 🩸between arms. 🧵4/5
