The latest volume in the Practical Phlebology series, Deep Vein Thrombosis provides trainee and practicing physicians with the ideal illustrative guide to the etiology, diagnosis, and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Based on peer-reviewed literature and quality clinical trials, the book is also an essential resource for academicians.

Topics include:

  • Epidemiology, natural history, and etiology of DVT
  • DVT prophylaxis
  • Diagnostic techniques
  • Anticoagulation, thrombus removal, catheter-based interventions, and thrombolysis
  • Inferior vena cava filters
  • Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
  • Femoral endovenectomy and endoluminal recanalization
