Beschreibung:
<jats:p> Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent and potentially life-threatening condition, and acute and late complications are common. The diagnostic approach to DVT needs to be reliable, widely available, and cost-effective. Furthermore, several therapeutic options are available for DVT treatment and the choice of anticoagulant drug, dosage, and treatment duration has to reflect the specific situation of the individual DVT patient. This review was aimed to provide bedside guidance for clinicians faced with common (and less common) clinical scenarios in DVT treatment. </jats:p>
