ISTH Academy Webinar: Thrombosis in Unusual Sites

Walter Ageno – Splanchnic Veins
 
The management of patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis is challenging because of the potential severity of the clinical presentation and because of the substantial risk of short and long-term complications, including recurrences and bleeding.
 
Evidence to drive clinical decisions is limited because no randomized controlled trials have been carried out in this setting and because of the heterogeneity of the patient population.
 
Aim of this webinar is to review available evidence in this setting and to discuss possible strategies for the management of patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis and the use of anticoagulant drugs in this setting.  
 
Jonathan Coutinho – Cerbral Sinus
In this presentation Dr. Coutinho will cover the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis.
