Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities is a disease that forms when a blood clot in a vein causes the muscle layer deep inside the leg to be affected by the clot obstructing blood flow. Areas with blocked blood vessels will be painful, swollen, and bruised. If the hematoma travels to the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism leading to serious breathing problems. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities early to promptly treat the disease.

Hello doctor. I have deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities treated for 8 days in 1 hospital. After going home for outpatient treatment, my legs are no longer swollen, but for a few days I have pain in my calf like a cramp and can't walk.

Hi doctor! May I ask how long it takes to treat deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities? What does the sentence below "prognosis of survival over one year" mean in the sentence: "Systemic (or direct catheter) thrombolysis consider indication in case of acute massive thrombosis (greater than 14 years) days) in the pelvis - thigh, there is a risk of limb necrosis due to arterial compression, the patient's prognosis is over 1 year". Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Deep vein thrombosis is a common disease in severe patients, after major surgery or immobilization for many days, it can cause local symptoms or migrate to the lungs causing pulmonary embolism. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities in those with risk factors.

Adequate initial anticoagulation therapy for DVT is always recommended to prevent the development of thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Accordingly, intravenous unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin and new generation anticoagulants play a key role in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.

Diagnosis of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis is based on clinical symptoms of the patient, exploiting predisposing risk factors, assessing clinical risk of DVT to select methods. testing, diagnostic testing.

Anticoagulants play a central role in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities. The aim of anticoagulation is to prevent recurrent thrombosis, embolism, and death, which are most likely to occur during the first 3 to 6 months after diagnosis.

After the acute phase, deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities still requires continued maintenance therapy along with anticoagulants. Long-term use of the drug is intended to minimize the chance of recurrent deep vein thrombosis and the development of potentially life-threatening pulmonary embolism complications. The duration of maintenance therapy will be considered on a case-by-case basis, based on whether the risk factors for deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities continue or resolve.

Deep vein thrombosis is a fairly common disease that is likely to be blocked by a blood clot. This disease can occur in veins throughout the body but is most likely to be in the lower extremities, specifically the thighs or calves. Color Doppler ultrasonography is the primary method for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis.

Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities is a condition in which a blood clot forms inside a vein. This phenomenon impedes blood flow to the heart, causing complete or partial blockage of blood flow in the venous lumen leading to serious consequences.
