ABSTRACT
Secondary thromboprophylaxis with low molecular heparin or vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) is recommended in patients with definite antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Direct oral anticoagulant (DOACs) have been approved in different prothrombotic conditions and have numerous advantages compared to VKAs. Whether DOACs can be used for secondary prophylaxis in APS is an open question. Data from the TRAPS randomized controlled Trial, meta-analysis and case reports indicate that we should not treat patients with triple positive APS and/or arterial thrombi with routine doses of DOACS. On the other hand, data from the literature including, case series, meta- analysis and the RAPS trial indicate that there are low risk patients, such as patients who suffered from a venous but not an arterial thromboembolism and are LAC negative who may benefit from the treatment with DOACs. Prospective trials addressing these low risk patients are needed in order to consider DOAC treatment in such patients.
