Venous thromboembolism

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1999
Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children is rapidly rising. Frequent use of central venous lines (CVLs) in children with a variety of disease processes has contributed to increased incidence of VTE. In addition, increased detection of VTE has been possible due to the availability of sensitive imaging studies such as Color Duplex/Doppler ...

Venous Thromboembolism in Malignancy and Malignancy in Venous Thromboembolism

Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 1998
The activation of coagulation in patients with cancer contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality rates and may play a fundamental role in the host response to growing tumours. Patients with cancer are clearly at high risk for the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly during chemotherapy and surgery.

Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1995
This review provides meta-analytic data of studies aiming at improved treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The introduction of low molecular weight heparin has considerably ameliorated the initial treatment of deep vein thrombosis, and should now be regarded as the treatment of choice for most patients with deep vein thrombosis ...

Pregnancy and Venous Thromboembolism

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2013
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which complicates 1 to 2 of 1,000 pregnancies and represents a leading cause of mortality during pregnancy in developed countries. Strong evidence for the management of pregnancy-related VTE is missing, mostly because pregnant women have been ...

Cancer and Venous Thromboembolism

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2006
The evidence of the important two-way clinical correlation between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) dates back to Trousseau's time. Over time it has been established that cancer patients not only exhibit a higher risk of developing VTE when compared with noncancer patients, but also that VTE, especially in its idiopathic presentation, sometimes ...

Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2006
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a preventable cause of significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, especially in the perioperative period. After identifying the risk factors, it is possible to stratify patients into groups based on their degree of risk for developing VTE.

Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism

Chest, 2001
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to the presence of either a deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or both. Thrombosis generally begins in the deep veins of the lower extremities (DVT); over time, a thrombus may embolize to the pulmonary vasculature and cause a PE.

Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1999
IntroductionVenous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common clinical problem. If untreated or inadequately treated, there is a high risk of fatal PE1 and recurrent venous thrombosis.2-4 The objectives of treatment are to prevent local extension of thrombus, embolization, and recurrent ...
