Cerebral Venous Thrombosis
An uncommon cause of stroke that is easy to miss because it does not behave like arterial disease. Who to suspect it in, and why early recognition matters.
Venous Thrombosis
Venous thromboembolism is common, frequently mismanaged at the margins, and unforgiving of casual anticoagulation decisions. Posts collected here cover deep vein thrombosis diagnosis and the limits of compression ultrasound, provoked versus unprovoked classification, thrombophilia testing and when it changes nothing, and anticoagulant selection including direct oral agents, vitamin K antagonists and parenteral options. Treatment duration and extended low-intensity prophylaxis, cancer-associated and catheter-related thrombosis, unusual site thrombosis, IVC filters, post-thrombotic syndrome and catheter-directed intervention for iliofemoral disease all feature. Pair these with our acute care and intervention books and the exam preparation series.
