Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) regulates factor X activation. LowTFPI is a risk factor for a first venous thrombosis. We evaluated whether lowTFPI confers an increased risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE). TFPI-free antigen was measured in 611 patients with a first spontaneous VTE, and who were prospectively followed after withdrawal of anticoagulation. The endpoint was symptomatic recurrent VTE. The relative risk (RR) of recurrence increased from 1.0 (95% CI 0.4-2.6) in patients with TFPI levels
