What a fantastic evening celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Adult Thrombosis Fellowship Program at the University of Ottawa during the #ISTH2026 meeting in Paris! It was wonderful to reconnect with so many former fellows who trained in Ottawa. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this incredible milestone and to all our fellows. Looking forward to the next 25 years! @isth @ThrombosisCan @canvector

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. @RodgerMarc and the entire team on their @isth oral presentation! 👏 🤰 An unlikely LEFt score + negative D-dimer safely excluded suspected #DVT in pregnancy without ultrasound. 📊 No VTE events occurred in this low-risk group, while a likely LEFt score identified patients at high risk (≈28% VTE), supporting prompt imaging and close follow-up. An important step toward safer, evidence-based care for pregnant patients. 👏🔬 #ISTH2026

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. @sudeeppappur and the entire #EPCATIII team! A true highlight of #ISTH2026 in Paris: a Late-Breaking Abstract with simultaneous publication in @NEJM. Practice-changing results showing that aspirin alone after total hip or knee arthroplasty was noninferior to an initial 5-day course of rivaroxaban followed by aspirin for preventing symptomatic VTE, with no clinically meaningful difference in bleeding. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… @ThrombosisCan @canvector @isth

Dans le cadre d’une étude menée par la Dre Lana Castellucci, deux types d’anticoagulants souvent utilisés pour traiter la thromboembolie veineuse ont été comparés. L’un de ces médicaments a pu diminuer de plus de 50 % les cas d’hémorragie. cihr-irsc.gc.ca/f/54578.html…
