title: Management of oral anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thromboembolism.
abstract: Venous thromboembolism still represents a major public health problem. After initial heparin therapy, oral anticoagulants are the treatment most often used. Bleeding is the major risk of such a therapy. This review of the literature emphasises the practical aspects of the clinical management of oral anticoagulant therapy, such as initiation, monitoring, interaction, withdrawal, optimal duration, bleeding complications and non-haemorrhagic adverse reactions.
