title: [Management of complications with antivitamin K in elderly people].
abstract: latrogenic complications with antivitamin K (AVK) largely entail haemorrhages, apparently more frequent in the elderly. Recent French and North American recommendations are available and must be widely circulated, in community practices as well as hospitals, in order to improve the treatment of overdoses and/or haemorrhagic accidents under AVK.
