I think you know the
drill by now.
- First, treat the pulmonary embolus.
- Realize that recurrence rate is high with
Leiden V.
- Probably indefinite treatment with
Coumadin.
- Compression stockings.
- Genetic counseling.
Treating a DVT is much more
complicated than just anticoagulant therapy.
- Especially if there's likelihood of
recurrence.

- Here's something we want to avoid.
- Post phlebitic syndrome.
- Venous return from an extremity will
never be the same after a venous thrombosis.
- Chronic ischemia,
- Vascular congestion
- Skin ulceration will be an ongoing
problem.
- The use of compression stockings
will be very helpful.
- Regular exercise and avoiding
immobilization.
