A Multicenter MRI Protocol for the Evaluation and Quantification of Deep Vein Thrombosis
Published on: June 2, 2015
Abstract:
1. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are major health problems that often result in significant postsurgical morbidity and mortality. 2. To prevent DVT, patient care includes graduated compression stockings or the use of a pneumatic compression device, and administration of the correct dose of anticoagulation agent (heparin or LMWH). 3. Taken together, the various drug therapies and physical interventions can clearly prevent DVT. Careful evaluation of the patient's risk factors, along with a monitored postoperative therapy can minimize the morbidity and mortality of this "unseen" condition.
