Management and treatment of deep vein thrombosis in special populations

Expert Review of Hematology
Gudula BoonMenno V Huisman

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is the third most frequent cardiovascular disease besides myocardial infarction and stroke. Because DVT may cause life-threatening conditions, treatment should be started as soon as possible. This comprises certain challenges in special populations. Areas covered: In cancer-associated VTE, current treatment is different from non-cancer VTE due to disease-related interventions and higher bleeding risks. In the treatment of patients with extensive DVT, the role of catheter-directed thrombolysis has been investigated in two randomized trials, but results do not yield a recommendation for standard thrombolysis. The diagnosis of suspected recurrent DVT is especially challenging in case of ipsilateral DVT. Treatment strategies in recurrent DVT are dependent on the case and on particular risk factors. Also discussed is the therapy for DVT in pregnant women, which is more complex as a result of anticoagulants crossing the placenta. Expert commentary: DVT treatment in special populations poses special challenges due to high thrombotic and bleeding risk. This will be discussed in more detail in this review.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
