title: [Recurrence risk in venous thromboembolic disease after anticoagulation discontinuation].
abstract: To determine the risk for recurrence of venous thromboembolic disease is essential to decide the optimum duration of treatment. Clinical risk factors, elevated D-dimer after anticoagulation withdrawal and the presence of residual deep vein thrombosis should be considered. In this article the risk factors and the reported risk models are reviewed.
