Practice patterns for extended venous thromboembolism chemoprophylaxis among urologic oncologists after radical cystectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: The majority of surveyed urologic oncologists are prescribing subcutaneous enoxaparin ECP following RC. Poor patient adherence due to self-injections and financial barriers were frequently reported and represent a possible opportunity for the use of oral anticoagulants in the post-operative setting. These data will be used in the development of a proposed clinical trial of a DOAC in the post-RC setting. PMID: 32616422 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
