FW: Portacath warfarin prophylaxis

[Marilyn Patterson]

This question from an internal medicine doc.  Has this recommendation changed? Does any one have any references I can forward to this MD?  Thanks as always so much for all your valued input and expertise.

Recently, I think I've heard this is no longer recommended, right ?   Do you have a reference to support this ?   Thanks   mark
