ARTESiA: Apixaban vs Aspirin Bleeding Risk with Dr D Siegal
Saison 2 · Épisode 28
mercredi 18 février 2026 • Durée 17:37
Major bleeding remains the principal complication of oral anticoagulation. In patients with device-detected subclinical atrial fibrillation, the decision to anticoagulate requires careful balancing of stroke prevention against bleeding risk.
In this episode of CLOT Conversations, Dr. Deborah Siegal discusses a prespecified subanalysis of the ARTESiA randomized clinical trial, recently published in JAMA Cardiology. ARTESiA demonstrated a 37% reduction in stroke and systemic embolism with apixaban compared to aspirin — but at the cost of increased major bleeding.
This subanalysis goes deeper, examining the site, severity, and clinical course of bleeding events. Most bleeding was gastrointestinal and non-critical. Rates of intracranial and fatal bleeding were low and similar between treatment arms. The majority of events were not clinical emergencies, and many were defined by hemoglobin decline rather than catastrophic presentation.
We explore what these findings mean for individualized risk assessment, the importance of modifiable bleeding risk factors such as NSAID use, and how physicians and patients can approach shared decision-making in subclinical AF.

WAVe Study: Cancer, Obesity, Anticoagulation with Dr Tzu-Fei Wang and Dr Gregoire Le Gal
Saison 2 · Épisode 27
mardi 16 décembre 2025 • Durée 21:56
Obesity presents a persistent challenge in the management of cancer-associated thrombosis, particularly when prescribing low molecular weight heparin beyond standard dose caps.
In this episode of CLOT Conversations, host Dr. Jameel Abdulrehman is joined by Dr. Tzu-Fei Wang and Dr. Grégoire Le Gal to discuss findings from the WAVe study, a multicenter prospective cohort study evaluating weight-adjusted dalteparin dosing in patients over 90 kg with acute cancer-associated venous thromboembolism.
The conversation examines bleeding and thrombotic outcomes, mortality, and trough anti-Xa levels, including insights into bioaccumulation and twice-daily versus once-daily dosing. The guests also address study limitations, dose capping in patients with very high body weight, and how WAVe fits into current practice amid increasing DOAC use.
This episode provides practical, evidence-informed guidance for clinicians navigating anticoagulation decisions in obese patients with cancer.

The COBRRA Study: Shifting Paradigms in Acute VTE Treatment
Saison 2 · Épisode 18
vendredi 27 juin 2025 • Durée 04:34
In this episode of Clot Conversations, Dr. Lana Castellucci, University of Ottawa, discusses the COBRRA study, which compares the bleeding risks of rivaroxaban and apixaban in patients with acute VTE. The study follows patients for three months and finds that apixaban significantly reduces combined bleeding events compared to rivaroxaban. While the trial wasn't powered for individual outcomes, it shows no difference in VTE recurrence. This is potentially practice-changing information, indicating that most acute VTE patients might benefit from apixaban over rivaroxaban, although patient-specific factors and preferences will still play a role in decision-making.

Breakthrough in DVT Diagnosis: Age-Adjusted D-Dimer Cutoff
Saison 2 · Épisode 17
vendredi 27 juin 2025 • Durée 06:17
In this episode of CLOT Conversations, Dr. Gregoire Le Gal, University of Ottawa, in an interview with Dr Vicky Mai, shares insights from his groundbreaking study on age-adjusted D-dimer cutoffs for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Previously validated for pulmonary embolism (PE), this new approach significantly improves DVT diagnostics. By adjusting D-dimer thresholds based on patient age, the study found a safe and reliable method to rule out DVT without reliance on additional imaging. Though results showed a smaller incremental increase in negative D-dimer results compared to PE, the safety of the approach was confirmed. This research simplifies DVT diagnostics, making it easier for clinicians, especially in emergency settings.

COPD-PE Diagnosis & Recurrent VTE with Dr Vicky Mai
Saison 2 · Épisode 16
vendredi 27 juin 2025 • Durée 07:53
In this podcast episode, we explore groundbreaking research presented at the ISTH 2025 in Washington. Dr. Vicky May, Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et Pneumologie de Québec, shares insights into a new diagnostic algorithm for pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Her work focuses on identifying specific predictors, integrating these with established testing methods, and addressing challenges in the validation process. The discussion also highlights a study on recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), emphasizing symptom patterns and recurrence likelihood. These findings aim to refine clinical diagnostics, offering physicians refined tools for better patient management in thrombosis-related conditions.

Reduced-Dose Apixaban for Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: A New Standard?
Saison 2 · Épisode 10
jeudi 24 avril 2025 • Durée 15:36
In this episode of CLOT Conversations, we sit down with Dr. Marc Carrier to explore a groundbreaking study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on reduced-dose apixaban for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE). Dr. Carrier breaks down the study’s findings, which suggest that a lower dose of apixaban after six months of treatment is just as effective in preventing clot recurrence — and significantly safer in terms of bleeding risk. Tune in for expert insights on how this data could shift clinical practice and improve outcomes for patients living with cancer.
