The Hematologist

In this installment of our ASH Clinical Practice Guidelines series, Dr. Luis Meillon and Dr. Jaime Pereira have a conversation about the clinical importance of new ASH Guidelines on Venous Thromboembolism in Latin America. This podcast is the English version of a dedicated three-part series in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. 

Dr. Luis Meillon is a hematologist at the ABC Medical Center and panel member representing the Sociedad Mexicana de Trombosis y Hemostasia. He is President of the Agrupación Mexicana para el Estudio de la Hematología. 

Dr. Pereira is Professor at the Department of Hematology-Oncology, School of Medicine, Catholic University of Chile and member of the Latin American panel for ASH VTE Guidelines on behalf of the Chilean Society of Hematology.

None of our speakers has a direct financial conflict of interest with companies that market drugs or devices used to diagnose or treat VTE.
