Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Pulmonary Embolism: Importance of Anatomical Extent

Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Pulmonary Embolism: Importance of Anatomical Extent

Pulmonary embolism (PE) studies used direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with or without initial heparin. We aimed to (1) evaluate if PE patients benefit from initial heparin; (2) describe patient characteristics in the DOAC studies; and (3) investigate whether the anatomical extent of PE correlates...
