The mainstay of VTE management is anticoagulation therapy, which prevents thrombus propagation and embolization. Such treatment reduces the risk of recurrence. [5] [4] [1] The choice and duration of anticoagulation depend on the individual patient's risk factors, bleeding risk, and preferences.
Numerous medications have been shown to reduce the risk of a person having a VTE, however careful decision making is required in order to decide if a person's risk of having a VTE outweighs the risks associated with most thromboprophylaxis treatment approaches (medications to prevent venous thrombosis).
As such, family history of VTE is a risk factor for a first VTE. [88] Factor V Leiden, which makes factor V resistant to inactivation by activated protein C, [88] mildly increases VTE risk by about three times. [14] [88] Deficiencies of three proteins that normally prevent blood from clotting—protein C, protein S, and antithrombin ...

Studies of the pathophysiologic mechanisms for the increased risk of Venous thrombosis embolism or VTE after long-distance travel have not produced consistent results, but venous stasis appears to play a major role; other factors specific to air travel may increase coagulation activation, particularly in passengers with individual risk factors ...
