  • Title: [Clinical aspects and treatment of post-thrombotic syndrome].
    Author: Rudofsky G.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1989 Dec 15; 139(23):563-6. PubMed ID: 2696216.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of the postthrombotic syndrome is determined by the individual clinical symptoms and signs. As long as there is no alteration of the skin nor edema or varicosis but only uncomplicated lesions in the deep veins basic therapy is sufficient. In this case the physiological venous reactions should be supported by the avoidance of standing or sitting for long times and of high environmental temperatures. Local cooling and other measures as defined by Robert May are advisable. In the case of symptoms compression therapy is necessary which in most cases will be lifelong.
