About this document

DVT - UpToDate by sa is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides an overview of treatment for proximal and distal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The main treatments discussed are anticoagulation and thrombolysis. For proximal DVT, anticoagulation is generally recommended to prevent pulmonary embolism, unless the bleeding risk is high. For distal DVT, patients at high risk of embolization should receive anticoagulation, while low risk patients may undergo surveillance without anticoagulation. Factors determining risk level are discussed
