Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist secondary prophylaxis

Major bleeding · patients with cancer with venous thromboembolism

Low molecular weight heparin secondary prophylaxis showed no clear difference in major bleeding (main analysis ‐ active cancer) compared with vitamin K antagonist secondary prophylaxis (low certainty).

Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA)

Major bleeding · people with cancer with thrombosis prophylaxis and central venous catheters

It is very uncertain whether low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) changes major bleeding (up to 3 months) compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) (very low certainty).
