A member asked:
I have aps (and hx of dvt), mild mvp, and wearing a pacemaker. my hematologist thinks of stopping my anticoagulant. is it a wise decision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: You have a 15% of recurrence of DVT within 1 year and 50% recurrence within 10 years. With APS it may be even higher. If the DVT leads to a PE you have a 35% chance of death in the first 10 months.
