Abstract

Management of Deep Venous Thrombosis has dramatically changed with implication of endovascular techniques. Mechanical thrombectomy and Catheter directed thrombolysis have become the treatment of choice for proximal (femoro-iliac) disease giving excellent long lasting results. Anticoagulation remains crucial treatment for distal disease and even patients post successful proximal recanalizations require long term anticoagulation afterwards. The duration of the treatment suppose to follow the guidelines, but choice of medication is usually left on the physician and the circumstances. In our article we describe all available anticoagulant agents with detailed analysis.
