Study type | Interventional |
The optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism is still uncertain. The present study addresses the possible role of the D-dimer test in assessing the need for continuation of anticoagulation.The study aims at assessing whether D-dimer assay may have a role in guiding the duration of anticoagulation in these patients
