Venous thrombosis in neonates [PDF]
The incidence of thrombotic disorders in neonates and children is increasing with advances in diagnostic modalities, supportive care, and management of many health conditions. The developing coagulation system, need for intensive care, including catheterization, and co-morbid conditions are responsible for the relatively high risk of thrombosis in ...

Iliofemoral venous thrombosis [PDF]
Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with serious short- and long-term physical, social, and economic sequelae for patients. Most physicians treat patients with acute iliofemoral DVT in the same manner as they treat all acute DVT patients: with anticoagulation alone.

Venous thrombosis in the elderly [PDF]
While the overall incidence of venous thrombosis is 1-2 per 1000 per year, it is close to 1% per year in the very old. The case-fatality rate of thrombosis is high in the elderly, particularly among those with cancer. The risk of major hemorrhage during anticoagulant treatment is also strongly age-dependent, contributing to the vulnerability of the old
