DVT: deep vein thrombosis; PE: pulmonary embolism; POST: Prospective Observational Superficial Thrombophlebitis; SVT: superficial vein thrombosis.
* Patients could have had more than one concomitant event. All events were confirmed by objective tests.
¶ DVT location was missing for 2 patients in POST and 12 in OPTIMEV. The number of patients with proximal DVT is not reported in the OPTIMEV publication and cannot be calculated due to the missing data on location.
Δ In 5 patients, no concomitant DVT was identified.From: Décousus H, Bertoletti L, Frappé P. Spontaneous acute superficial vein thrombosis of the legs: do we really need to treat?
