Patients with sickle cell disease have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and with a mortality 2-fold higher. The anticoagulation of VTE in a young population is an important question. Indeed, hemorrhagic complications of anticoagulation may occur more frequently than in the general population. The use of a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) is not recommended for VTE in patients with sickle cell disease because those patients were not included in the clinical studies. We aimed to study the safety of using DOACs in a prospective cohort of patients with sickle cell disease and VTE. We prospectively followed the cohort of all sickle cell disease patients undergoing recent DOAC treatment for VTE at a sickle cell disease reference center. Twelve patients received rivaroxaban for VTE (eight women and four men). The median age was 27 years (20-45). The sickle cell disease variants included homozygous Hb SS (
