Our approach to breakthrough CAT

Anticoagulant during breakthrough VTENew regimen
Warfarin Full-dose weight-based LMWH (enoxaparin 1 mg/kg twice daily or dalteparin 200 U/kg daily) or fondaparinux weight-based dose 
DOAC 
Low-dose LMWH (enoxaparin 30-40 mg daily or dalteparin 5000 U daily) 
Intermediate-dose LMWH (enoxaparin 40 mg twice daily, 0.5 mg/kg twice daily, or 1 mg/kg daily or dalteparin 5000 U twice daily) 
75% full-dose LMWH (enoxaparin 1.5 mg/kg daily or dalteparin 150 U/kg daily) 
Prophylactic dose fondaparinux (2.5 mg daily) Full-dose weight-based fondaparinux (5-10 mg daily) 
Full-dose weight-based LMWH (enoxaparin 1 mg/kg twice daily or dalteparin 200 U/kg daily) Dose-escalated LMWH (120%-125% full weight-based dose) 
Full-dose weight-based fondaparinux (5-10 mg daily) Dose-escalated fondaparinux (full weight-based dose plus 2.5 mg) 
Dose-escalated LMWH (120%-125% full weight-based dose) or fondaparinux (full weight-based dose plus 2.5 mg) Experimental approaches: consider addition of antiplatelet agent or second anticoagulant with distinct mechanism of action
