Extended anticoagulant therapy with a reduced-dose of apixaban was noninferior to extended therapy with a full-dose of apixaban in preventing recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with active cancer and proximal deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, based on findings from the API-CAT trial presented at ACC.25

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a rare yet severe complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), characterized by a high amputation rate and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing this condition. PCD predominantly affects the lower extremities rather than the upper extremities.

Background and Purpose:Cancer increases the risk for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and deep venous thrombosis. The role of paradoxical embolization as a stroke etiology in patients with cancer is uncertain. Our study investigated the relationship between cancer-related stroke and the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO).Methods:We
