pubmed:abstractText |
In 2008, the Surgeon General made a Call to Action for the prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and for the first time, the 2008 American College of Chest Physicians guidelines for treatment of acute lower extremity DVT (ALE DVT) were revised to include thrombolysis as a grade 2B recommendation. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) therapy for patients with ALE DVT without contraindications can result in more complete clot dissolution than anticoagulation alone and may prevent the long-term sequelae of DVT. We sought to determine the percentage of inpatients with ALE DVT at a tertiary medical center who were candidates for CDT therapy and whether these patients were appropriately offered such treatment.
