- Without anticoagulation, the risk recurrence of DVT is thought to be 50% within three months of a PE. Risk of recurrence within the first year of a DVT following three months of anticoagulation is thought to be 8%.
-The most serious complication of DVT is PE. The risk of PE is higher in proximal clots. Thrombosis of the iliofemoral veins carries a worse prognosis with increased incidence of late clinical complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome.]]> 2018-04-23 04:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/339405/j539dx0qxzf2/wish/254239201 339405 https://padlet.com/339405/j539dx0qxzf2/wish/254240062 - Can be caused by anything that prevents your blood from circulating or clotting normally, such as injury to a vein, surgery, certain medications and limited movement.]]> 2018-04-23 04:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/339405/j539dx0qxzf2/wish/254240062
