suggested that wearing compression stockings might reduce this risk. This is an update of …

Background The true frequency of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) during long-haul air travel is
unknown. We sought to determine the frequency of DVT in the lower limb during long-haul …

The aim of this study was to evaluate deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis with
specific elastic stockings in longhaul flights (11-13 hours), in high-risk subjects. A group of …

Background Hospitalised patients are at increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) in the lower limb and pelvic veins, on a background of prolonged immobilisation …
