Anticoagulation therapy for treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism
(PE) is associated with an increased bleeding risk, although it often exists alongside
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or aspirin use for treatment of chronic
comorbid conditions, such as atherosclerotic vascular disease, or for general use.
The increased bleeding risk as a result of using aspirin with anticoagulation in patients
with atrial fibrillation, prosthetic valves, and ischemic heart disease has been well
described. To the authors’ knowledge, data estimating the bleeding risk of anticoagulant
use for treatment of DVT/PE with concomitant use of NSAIDs or aspirin had not been
reported.
