Overview of Dr. Desancho

I am a board certified hematologist specialized in thrombosis and hemostasis with special interest in pregnant women with thrombotic and bleeding disorders.
In addition I follow a large group of patients with venous thrombosis and provide advice on type of anticoagulation, indications for thrombophilia screening and duration of anticoagulation.
One of my goals is to optimize the transition of care (TOC) of patients diagnosed from venous thromboembolism (VTE) from the inpatient to the outpatient setting. To achieve this goal I am participating with 15 other Hemostasis Thrombosis centers across the US on an ongoing quality improvement project to optimize the TOC of both pediatric and adult patients with a first diagnosis of VTE from the inpatient to the outpatient setting.
Another area of interest is to evaluate mechanisms of thrombosis in cancer patients, and create and algorithm based on clinical and current and novel laboratory data that can predict the risk of thrombosis in cancer patients.
