Venous stasis syndrome: the long-term burden of deep vein thrombosis

Hosp Med. 2003 Oct;64(10):593-8. doi: 10.12968/hosp.2003.64.10.2325.

Abstract

Currently there is no cure for venous stasis syndrome, a common complication of deep vein thrombosis. Prophylaxis with anticoagulant agents, including new drugs presently under investigation, may decrease the incidence and costs associated with this condition.
