What are the long-term consequences and risks following an overt episode of deep vein thrombosis?
Following DVT, patients face persistent long-term risks of VTE recurrence, post-thrombotic syndrome, and death, highlighting the need for optimal prolonged treatment strategies.
Alain Leizorovicz (1998) conducted a review in Deep Vein Thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis was evaluated. Deep vein thrombosis carries persistent long-term risks, with early recurrence rates of 3-6% and severe post-thrombotic syndrome occurring in 2-10% of patients at 10 years.
