"Main Messages
- Both LMWH/Warfarin and DOACs are reasonable first-line treatments for acute VTE.
- DOACs have similar efficacy to Warfarin in the treatment of VTE, and have a favourable safety profile with less major bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage.
- Decisions about anticoagulant therapy must take into account efficacy, bleeding risk, comorbidity, patient preference, and cost."
