• Summary:"This essential volume from the series provides trainee and practicing phlebologists with the ideal illustrative guide to the etiology, diagnosis, and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The book begins by discussing the natural history of acute DVT. It examines its etiology as well as various prevention measures. The author discusses the diagnosis of acute DVT and the use of anticoagulants and other measures for the management of the condition. He also examines thrombus removal, inferior vena caval filters, and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia"--Provided by publisher.
