Long-term Outcome After Edoxaban Versus Vitamin K Antagonists for Acute VTE

The HOKUSAI post VTE study contains of two different research questions; one on the long term outcomes of deep vein thrombosis and one on the long term effects of pulmonary embolism, post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) respectively. Our aim of the study is to compare the long term outcomes along with the quality of life assessment of VTE in a group treated with heparin+VKA versus a group treated with heparin+edoxaban in the acute setting.
