  • Title: [Deep vein thrombosis--diagnosis and therapy].
    Author: Partsch H.
    Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1999; 26(2):41-6. PubMed ID: 10478277.
    Abstract:
    For diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis an objective visualising method is indispensable (Duplex sonography, phlebography, MRI). The approval of several preparations of low-molecular-weight heparin made therapy easy: subcutaneous injections of fixed doses which are mainly adjusted to body-weight allow safe and effective anticoagulation without the need of special laboratory testing. Mobile patients should be kept walking with compression of their legs. Secondary prophylaxis consists of oral anticoagulation or alternatively in low-molecular-weight heparin and compression stockings.
