Athletes face thromboembolism risks from travel and trauma. Management for athletes is similar to non-athletes, with specific recommendations for upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Athletes are susceptible to thromboembolism due to factors like travel, trauma, and immobilization.
  • Genetic hypercoagulable disorders can further elevate an athlete's risk.
  • Understanding these risk factors is crucial for prevention and management in athletic populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the risk factors for thromboembolism in athletes.
  • To provide guidance on the management and prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in athletes.
  • To discuss return-to-play protocols for athletes with a history of VTE.

Main Methods:

  • Review of known risk factors for thromboembolism.
  • Discussion of management strategies for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in athletes.

  • Exploration of preventative measures for VTE during travel and recommendations for anticoagulation therapy.

    • Main Results:

    • Thrombolysis is recommended for upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), potentially with surgical decompression.
    • Thrombolytic therapy is generally not necessary for lower extremity DVT.
    • Preventative measures for travel-related DVT include exercises, hydration, and appropriate medication (aspirin or low molecular weight heparin for high-risk individuals).

    Conclusions:

    • Athletes require screening for thromboembolic risk during preparticipation physicals.
    • Athletes on anticoagulation should avoid contact or collision sports.
    • Gradual return to play with monitoring is advised for athletes recovering from VTE.
