May support D-dimer-guided anticoagulation withdrawal in low-risk VTE; hypothesis-generating pending randomized trials.
Does D-dimer measurement predict the risk of VTE recurrence after oral anticoagulant therapy withdrawal in patients with a first episode of DVT and/or PE?
Consistently normal D-dimer levels after stopping oral anticoagulation have a high negative predictive value for VTE recurrence, identifying patients at low risk.
