Can persons with hemophilia receive antithrombotic therapy?¶
Answer: Yes, but treatment needs to be highly individualized.
- As patients live longer and accrue more vascular and thrombotic risk factors, the treatment paradigm has shifted toward preserving quality of life and reducing morbidity from other diseases related to age and aging, in addition to the usual principles of preventing bleeding complications.
- For detailed recommendations, see the EHA-ISTH-EAHAD-ESO clinical practice guidance, with an excellent selected synopsis in JTH.
