Why the study?
Venous thromboembolism presents challenging clinical situations where high-quality evidence and solid clinical guideline recommendations are lacking.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This consensus document provides expert recommendations for managing venous thromboembolism in challenging clinical scenarios where high-quality evidence is lacking, such as in pregnancy, severe renal insufficiency, and extreme obesity.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can present different challenging situations for which high-quality evidence to guide optimal preventive and therapeutic management is lacking and for which clinical practice guidelines have not established solid recommendations. The aim of this article is to achieve consensus on a proposal of action for the clinical management of complex, clinically relevant situations with a low level of evidence which generate great uncertainty-the duration of VTE treatment and the role of thrombus recanalization, the prevention of VTE within the context of pregnancy, management of anticoagulant treatment in patients with VTE and special characteristics, such as renal insufficiency and obesity, the therapeutic management of pluripathological and polymedicated older patients with VTE, and finally, primary ambulatory thromboembolic prevention in cancer patients. This consensus article arose from a collaboration of experts in VTE from different medical specialties.

Solanich et al. (2025) conducted a review in Venous thromboembolism (VTE). Consensus recommendations for VTE management was evaluated. Expert consensus recommendations were established for the management of complex venous thromboembolism scenarios, including treatment duration, pregnancy, renal insufficiency, and obesity.
