Guidelines on deep vein thrombosis of the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery

Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis is one of the main causes of inpatient and outpatient morbidity, both in medical and surgical patients, significantly impacting mortality statistics and requiring prompt diagnosis so that treatment can be initiated immediately. This document was prepared and reviewed by 11 specialists certified by the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery, who searched the main databases for the best evidence on the diagnostic (physical examination, imaging) and therapeutic approaches (heparin, coumarins, direct oral anticoagulants, fibrinolytics) to the disease.
