Patients with an incident CAT event may have concurrent diagnoses of multiple VTE types (eg, concurrent PE and DVT), so percentages of VTE types are not mutually exclusive and sum in excess of 100%. “Intrathoracic thrombosis” includes thrombosis of superior vena cava, brachiocephalic, and other unspecified thoracic veins.
