The traditional treatment for thrombosis is the same as for a lower extremity DVT, and involves systemic anticoagulation to prevent a pulmonary embolus. [10] Some have also recommended thrombolysis with catheter directed alteplase or mechanical thrombectomy with a large bore catheter and manual aspiration providing definitive intervention with an endovascular approach.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of venous thrombosis involving the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs or pelvis. [ 9 ][ a ] A minority of DVTs occur in the arms. [ 11 ] Symptoms can include pain, swelling, redness, and enlarged veins in the affected area, but some DVTs have no symptoms.
Venous thrombosis is the blockage of a vein caused by a thrombus (blood clot). A common form of venous thrombosis is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), when a blood clot forms in the deep veins. If a thrombus breaks off (embolizes) and flows to the lungs to lodge there, it becomes a pulmonary embolism (PE), a blood clot in the lungs.

Pseudothrombophlebitis and deep vein thrombosis are not mutually exclusive conditions, and in rare instances may co-occur. [2] Pseudothrombophlebitis is clinically indistinguishable from a true thrombophlebitis such as deep vein thrombosis; the symptoms and history are similar and these conditions cannot be distinguished by clinical examination ...
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition in which blood pools in the veins, straining the walls of the vein. [ 1 ] The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux which is a treatable condition. [ 2 ] As functional venous valves are required to provide for efficient blood return from the lower extremities, this ...
