Key result
Deep vein thrombosis diagnosis relies on clinical probability models combined with D-dimer testing and ultrasonography, followed by treatment with low molecular weight heparins and oral anticoagulants.
This review summarizes the diagnostic algorithms for DVT, including clinical probability scoring and D-dimer testing, and highlights the shift towards outpatient management using low molecular weight heparins.
