Clinically suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) should be initially treated with heparin, and an objective diagnosis obtained. In pregnancy, heparin is usually continued until delivery, following which warfarin is substituted. In the absence of pregnancy, warfarin is ...
Treatment of DVT in the leg is individualized for each patient. Usually, anticoagulation or blood-thinning medication is prescribed to prevent further clot formation and to minimize the risk that part of the blood clot will break off and travel to the lung and cause pulmonary embolism. New guide...
In our emergency department, we have adopted a LMW heparin protocol for the outpatient treatment of suspected or proven DVT. 展开 关键词: heparin low-molecular-weight heparin venous thrombosis DOI: 10.1016/S0736-4679(97)00095-4 被引量: 27 ...
Therefore, a normal pulmonary angiogram is sufficient evidence to withhold treatment in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism,4 and a normal venogram precludes the need for therapy in patients with suspected DVT.5 Unfortunately, pulmonary angiography and venography are expensive, invasive tests that...
We do not routinely assess for residual thrombosis when we are considering stopping anticoagulants. We are most likely to assess for residual thrombosis, primarily as a baseline for future comparison if recurrence is suspected, if the initial DVT was large and anticoagulants are being stopped. Clinic...

REVLIMID has demonstrated a significantly increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), as well as risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with MM (multiple myeloma) who were treated with REVLIMID and dexamethasone therapy. Monitor for and advise patients ab...

We conducted a double-blind, randomized trial comparing low-molecular-weight heparin (tinzaparin sodium) with intravenous heparin treatment in patients with objectively documented proximal DVT.45 A priori, all patients underwent baseline lung scanning, and those with subsequent episodes of suspected recurre...
When traveling long distances by car, train, or by air, get up and walk every couple of hours to decrease the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). For those prone to falls, using a cane or walker may be helpful. As well, footwear with good grips should be encouraged. Falls can occu...
