Adequate initial anticoagulant treatment is required to prevent thrombus growth and recurrence. Intravenous unfractionated heparin is being replaced by low-molecular-weight heparin as the anticoagulant of choice for initial treatment of venous thromboembolism. Vitamin K antagonists remain the only oral anticoagulant available (target international normalized ratio: 2.5). The duration of therapy should be individualized according to the risk of recurrence and the risk of bleeding. Three months of treatment is usually adequate if thrombosis was provoked by a reversible risk factor such as surgery. For patients with unprovoked ("idiopathic") thrombosis, anticoagulant treatment for at least 6 months is indicated. For patients with a recurrence of venous thromboembolism or with an irreversible risk factor such as cancer, indefinite anticoagulant therapy is recommended. Long-term treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin is usually preferable for patients with active cancer. Systemic thrombolysis is indicated for patients with massive pulmonary embolism but controversy persists for those with isolated right ventricular dysfunction.
