Whether primary prophylaxis should be prescribed in individuals with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) remains controversial due to the lack of relevant evidence-based data. Indeed, it is unclear whether the benefit of LDA outweighs the risk of major bleeding associated LDA in a low-risk population. On the contrary, stratification of aPL-positive subjects according to their aPL profile (combination, isotype and titer), presence of other concomitant risk factors for thrombosis and coexistence of an underling autoimmune disease is essential to decide whether primary prophylactic therapy should be prescribed. Additionally, the management of modifiable thrombotic risk factors is a necessary strategy, and the use of transient prophylaxis is crucial during high-risk periods. Specifically designed prospective trials are urgently needed to determine the real prophylactic impact of aspirin, as well as of alternative or concomitant therapeutic strategies such as hydroxychloroquine, statins or DOACS in aPL positive patients.
