    Author: Bartholomew JR, Schaffer JL, McCormick GF.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2011 Feb; 78(2):111-20. PubMed ID: 21285343.
    Abstract:
    For those traveling on long flights, the risk of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, generally referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE), is real and dangerous if left unrecognized or untreated. The goal of this publication is to provide an overview of how best to prevent VTE during travel, and how to diagnose and treat it.
