Thanks for raising this. Yes, we do see some catheter-related VTE cases, especially in higher-risk patients. We’re trying to reduce them by improving line care and reviewing how long catheters are kept in place.

Good decision to refer her on. The fact that the clot developed 2 months post-op and in the other leg raises questions, so the thrombosis team will give the safest guidance.

I think you’ve taken the right approach. Continuing anticoag and waiting for specialist input is safest in this situation.
