BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Despite inherited thrombophilic risk factors being
strongly associated with vein thrombosis, decisions on whether to screen subjects for these …

INTRODUCTION: Whether patients with hereditary or acquired thrombophilia have an
increased risk for recurrence of venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and/or …

Venous thromboembolism, usually entailing deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or
both, is a complex and multifactorial disorder, in which a number of putative conditions …

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a disease, which often recurs. The recurrence risk is
highest in patients with unprovoked proximal deep-vein thrombosis (VT) or pulmonary …

In the past two decades, several mechanisms leading to thrombophilia have been
elucidated, and corresponding laboratory tests developed. At a time of financial constraints …

Although pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) share many risk
factors, it is uncertain whether thrombophilic abnormalities may impact differently on the …

Background Hereditary and acquired thrombophilia are risk factors for venous
thromboembolism (VTE). Whether testing helps guide management decisions is …

INTRODUCTION: Whether thrombophilic disorders, which are established risk factors for
venous thromboembolism (VTE), also increase the risk of arterial thrombosis is still …

The new edition of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline
(NG158) regarding venous thromboembolic diseases (VTDs) was published on March 26 …

The aim was to perform a local study of risk factors and thrombophilia in mesenteric venous
thrombosis (MVT), and to review the literature concerning thrombophilia testing in MVT …
