Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) result from a combination of pathophysiological states including endothelial injury, stasis, inflammation, and hypercoagulability. The extent of the PE, the patient's underlying cardiopulmonary reserve, and compensatory neurohumoral adaptations ...
Deep venous thrombosis is a frequent, multifactorial disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Most of the time deep venous thrombosis is triggered by the interaction between acquired risk factors, such as hip fracture, pregnancy, and immobility, and hereditary risk factors such as th...
The pathophysiology of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) is briefly discussed, and the efficacy, dosage and administration, laboratory monitoring, and adverse effects of thrombolytic agents, heparin, and warfarin are reviewed. Acute therapy of DVT and PE is usually initiated wit...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses two interrelated conditions that are part of the same spectrum, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) (see the image below). The spectrum of disease ranges from clinically unsuspected to clinically unimportant to massive embolism causing death...
Superficial thrombophlebitis is a common inflammatory-thrombotic disorder in which a thrombus develops in a vein located near the surface of the skin. Most superficial veins that develop thrombosis also have phlebitis, in contrast to deep venous thrombosis (DVT), a sometimes asymptomatic condition ...

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and mainly the ensuing Pulmonary Embolism (PE (that encompass the Venous thromboembolism (VTE) syndromes are the third most common cardiovascular cause of death. Recent years brought a rise in VTE incidence due to the aging population and growth in predisposing factors ...
