Background: Factor concentrates such as 4 factor-prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) are commonly used off-label as reversal agents in factor Xa inhibitor-associated bleeding events. However, there have been limited studies on the efficacy and safety of 4F-PCC use in these settings. We conducted a retrospective observational study of the use of 4F-PCC for major bleeding occurring […]

Agents typically used for VTE chemoprophylaxis include unfractionated heparin and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) administered via subcutaneous injection one to three times daily. Over the past decade, new evidence is […]
