After deep vein thrombosis, which patients refer to vascular specialist for anticoagulant withdrawal? A Delphi study results between general practitioners and vascular specialists.
DISCUSSION: Consensual situations, in which the general practitioners may be able to stop anticoagulation themselves, are isolated distal DVT without cancer and proximal DVT caused by a major reversible risk factor. Situations justifying a vascular medical advice were unprovoked DVT, DVT in a context of pregnancy, postpartum, cancer and proximal DVT in a context of hormonal therapy.
