We found no significant association between the use of bevacizumab and the occurrence of thromboembolic events in patients with high-grade gliomas, although our study was limited by the small number of ATE events. Because the potential for complications from arterial thrombosis cannot be completely ruled out, further research is needed to confirm the thromboembolic safety of bevacizumab in a larger sample of patients with high-grade gliomas.
