Did you know venous thromboembolism (VTE) impacts up to 900,000 Americans each year, leading to approximately 100,000 deaths? Early detection and treatment are crucial, yet too many patients face delays and misdiagnosis. This #WorldThrombosisDay, we’re launching Get Out the Clot, a collaborative effort to bridge these gaps in care and raise awareness about innovative treatments like mechanical thrombectomy. We’re partnering with other expert organizations in VTE care: International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, National Blood Clot Alliance, Penumbra, PERT Consortium, and the Society for Vascular Medicine. We’re working together to advocate for a standardized approach to blood clot care.
