Deep Vein Thrombosis: Prevention

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Deep Vein Thrombosis: Prevention

Deep vein thrombosis can be prevented through prophylactic anticoagulant drugs and venous stasis prevention with gradient elastic stockings and intermittent pneumatic compression of the legs. High-risk patients often need to remain on anticoagulants like Coumadin indefinitely.
