“…Thus, there is a biologically plausible rationale for anticoagulation therapy in these patients, with the goals of preventing progression of disease, decreasing Ppa, and improving symptoms and prognosis [1]. However, initial case reports and case series reported conflicting outcomes with regards to the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy on survival [26][27][28]. Through the present systematic review, seven observational studies addressing the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy on survival were identified.…”
