Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Thrombosis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across diverse patient populations, from those with hematologic malignancies and myeloproliferative neoplasms to those with cardiovascular disorders and autoimmune diseases. Despite advances in anticoagulation strategies, managing thrombotic risk remains challenging due to the complexity of underlying mechanisms and patient-specific factors. This Special Issue aims to advance knowledge on the molecular and clinical drivers of thrombosis, novel biomarkers for risk stratification, and personalized therapeutic approaches that balance thrombotic and bleeding risks. Core problems include gaps in predicting thrombotic events, the need for precision strategies in thromboprophylaxis, and evolving challenges such as cancer-associated and immune-mediated thrombosis.

We welcome research articles, reviews, and clinical studies exploring the pathophysiology of thrombosis, emerging diagnostic tools, and advancements in antithrombotic therapy. Authors are encouraged to address thrombotic risks in hematology, cardiovascular medicine, infectious diseases, and beyond. The issue seeks to mobilize a multidisciplinary community to provide comprehensive insights that improve patient outcomes.

Background/Objectives: After an initial course of anticoagulation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), identifying patients at higher risk of recurrence remains a clinical challenge. The role of residual vein thrombosis (RVT) in this setting is still debated, as most available evidence derives from retrospective studies or from the Warfarin era. We conducted a study to evaluate the incidence of RVT in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and to identify the clinical factors associated with its persistence. We also compared the outcomes from the two most prescribed drugs in Italy, Apixaban and Rivaroxaban. Methods: A total of 113 patients with newly diagnosed DVT underwent follow-up visits at 6 weeks (T1), 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) after diagnosis. RVT was assessed by compression ultrasonography and clinical, family and pathological history data were collected. Ninety-six patients were included in the final statistical analysis. Results: RVT was detected in 68.2%, 52.1% and 37.7% of patients at T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Factors significantly associated with RVT at T2 were male sex, femoral vein involvement and a family history of DVT. No significant differences were observed between Apixaban and Rivaroxaban. Prior episodes of thrombosis, smoking, diabetes and obesity were not associated with RVT at 3 months. Conclusions: Our findings confirm that RVT rates progressively decrease over time, as previously observed in the Coumarins era, but suggest a stronger early response to DOACs, particularly during the first three months of therapy. Moreover, DOACs appear to provide more effective protection in patients with risk factors for venous disease. Full article
