Aspirine et prévention de la récidive de la maladie veineuse thromboembolique

Abstract

After a first episode of unprovoked vein thrombosis, the risk of recurrence persists for many years. Long term of anticoagulant therapy prevents the recurrence of vein thrombosis but is associated with a major risk of bleeding.

As platelets play a role in the initiation and propagation of venous thromboembolism as well, antiplatelet agents, may play a role in the treatment and prevention of this disease.

This review summarizes available evidence on effect of aspirin in the prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis.
