  • Without adequate treatment, lower extremity DVT has a 3% risk of fatal PE
  • death due to upper extremity DVT is very rare
  • Risk of recurrent DVT is lowest for patients with transient risk factors (eg, surgery, trauma, temporary immobility) and greatest for patients with persistent risk factors (eg, cancer), idiopathic DVT, or incomplete resolution of past DVT (residual thrombus)
  • Risk of venous insufficiency is difficult to predict
  • Risk factors for postphlebitic syndrome include proximal thrombosis, recurrent ipsilateral DVT, and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 22 kg/m2.
