The management of thromboembolic disease in HIV-infected patients is much the same as for anyone else.

Manage the acute thrombotic episode. Evaluation for underlying causes. Long term follow-up and management. Heparin and warfarin. Lookout for possible interactions with antiviral agents. Prompt treatment of intercurrent infections has been shown to reduce thrombotic events.
In treatment of PE, subcutaneous low-molecular weight heparin has been reported to be as effective and safe as IV infractionated heparin. The picture at the right is of an ultrasound showing a deep leg vein thrombosis. Note its only attached at one end and about to break free.
