Abstract
Obesity is an alarming worldwide public health issue and is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more. It is considered as a risk factor for first thrombotic event and is associated with a significant risk of recurrence. Consequently, obese patients are often treated by anticoagulant therapy but data from randomised control trial are scarce. We will review in this narrative review the state of the art of the prescription of anticoagulant for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in obese patients.
