New clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of venous thromboembolism (VTE)
New clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) were issued jointly by The American College of Physicians and American Academy of Family Physicians. DVT occurs when clots form in the legs. If pieces of these leg clots break off and travel to the lungs, a serious condition called Pulmonary Embolism can occur.
New guidelines are meant to help clinicians understand the value and use of various diagnostic tools, such as D-dimer and ultrasound and the significance of the clinical characteristics that are useful in identifying high-risk patients.
