When a VTE is not immediately life-threatening, treatment focuses on preventing existing clots from getting bigger and new clots from forming. Preventative treatments include anticoagulants (blood thinners) that reduce clotting and compression stockings that encourage circulation.

2020年10月2日 · Conditional recommendations include the preference for home treatment over hospital-based treatment for uncomplicated DVT and PE at low risk for complications and a preference for direct oral anticoagulants over VKA for primary treatment of VTE.

Treatment of initial VTE is most effective for three to six months. Although longer treatment reduces the likelihood of recurrence, this benefit may be offset by increases in bleeding and...

This one-page snapshot provides a high-level summary of the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, covering the initial management, primary treatment, and secondary prevention phases.

2020年1月30日 · All patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) should receive anticoagulant treatment in the absence of absolute contraindications. Initial anticoagulant treatment is crucial for reducing mortality, preventing early recurrences, and improving long-term outcome.

2020年10月8日 · The ASH guidelines define the treatment period of acute DVT/PE as “initial management” (first 5-21 days), “primary treatment” (first 3-6 months), and “secondary prevention” (beyond the first 3-6 months).

2020年1月30日 · The most important decision in the long-term treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is how long to anticoagulate. VTE provoked by a reversible risk factor, or a first unprovoked isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), generally should be …
