Management of Venous Thromboembolism in France: a National Survey Among Vascular Medicine Physicians

Completed

• Conditions: Anticoagulant; Deep Vein Thrombosis; Survey; Venous Thromboembolism; Pulmonary Embolism

• Registration Number: NCT04272723
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

Brief Summary

In France, venous thromboembolic (VTE) disease is usually managed by vascular medicine physicians (VMP). The national OPTIMEV study, conducted more than 12 years ago among VMP practicing in hospital and in the community described the management of VTE in routine clinical practice. Since then a large number of practice changing studies have been published. This includes trials that have validated the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), the new standard of care of VTE, as per new national and international guidelines. Management of VTE in 2019 appears to be significantly different from the one that prevailed more than 10 years ago when the last national survey was conducted. It is therefore important to have an update on the routine clinical practice management of VTE by VMP. In this perspective the investigators aim to conduct a national survey among VMP practicing in France
