Venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC) are a frequent pathology accompanied by high lethality. After VTEC the risk of their recurrence not equivalent for all patients remains. The anticoagulant therapy available currently effectively prevents VTEC increasing a possibility of hemorrhages. This means that at planning the secondary prevention it’s necessary to maintain the optimal balance between a possibility of recurrence of VTEC and development of hemorrhagic complications. Thus, selection of patients for secondary prevention must be accompanied by a comprehensive analysis of numerous factors as determining the possibility of VTEC recurrence as well as a risk of complications development. Warfarin is the most frequently used drug for long-term anticoagulant per os therapy, it requires frequent monitoring with periodic dose correction and strict dietary limitations. New oral anticoagulants (NOAC) are applied at a fixed dose without obligatory strict hemostasiologic control, which makes them rather attractive for continues secondary prevention of VTEC.

The article tells about the current approaches to the treatment of deep vein thrombosis without the risk for embolism. Based on the findings of the global randomized controlled trials, as well as the updated Russian and international recommendations, the authors confirm the possibility, feasibility and safety of outpatient treatment of people with distal deep vein thrombosis with new anticoagulants administered per os.
