Ottawa Now - TOH spearheads groundbreaking blood clots study

The Ottawa Hospital is spearheading a groundbreaking clinical trial in blood clot research. It compared two commonly used drugs against each other for the treatment of venous blood clots usually found in the leg. And not only have they found a 'clear winner' in this international study, these findings are scheduled for publishing in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Lana Castellucci is a Senior Scientist and Thrombosis Physician at The Ottawa Hospital, and the lead author of this trial. She joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
