Hospital da Luz Lisboa now has the Internal Medicine Consultation – Thrombosis and Anticoagulation available, by Sérgio Baptista , specialist in Internal Medicine. This new consultation is for the follow-up of patients who suffered episodes of venous thromboembolism – more frequently pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis – or who need anticoagulation for other reasons. The anticoagulant medication aims to reduce the risk of episodes of thromboembolism, but must have regular medical monitoring. In this consultation at Hospital da Luz Lisboa, a dedicated follow-up plan is made for each case, in which various aspects are studied and monitored, such as: The most appropriate anticoagulant therapy; The treatment effects; The situations of greater bleeding risk that may occur, for example when there is a need to perform surgery, endoscopic examinations, tooth extractions or other invasive medical procedures; The hereditary and/or acquired causes of thromboembolism episodes that have occurred.
