Pro-COAG 2022

 

Venous thromboembolism risk and anticoagulation in special populations

Pro-COAG is a scientific and educational event, with top experts in the area of Coagulation, sharing their knowledge on current hot topics. Stay up-to-date on the latest global trends and most significant developments. 

The pro-COAG meeting covers topics of interest for laboratories, clinicians and healthcare institutions to facilitate shaping future pathways in the field of Coagulation and to identify unmet medical needs. We strive to empower clinicians to improve patient care and treatment and serve as an opportunity for discussions and the exchange of expert opinions. 

This year, the pro-COAG was held virtually for the second time, offering a deep dive into Coagulation. The exciting scientific program included presentations and a panel discussion focusing on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in special populations, such as pregnant women and women on hormone therapy, hospitalised and cancer patients.
