| However, Mr Cakebread told the court his clients believed there was a causal link between DVT and air travel. |
|
| Clinical data obtained were death from thromboembolic causes, recurrent DVT or pulmonary emboli, and major bleeding episodes. |
|
| A DVT can be present without signs or symptoms but may cause swelling or pain, particularly when the foot is flexed sharply upward. |
|
| The best diagnostic test available for DVT is venography, although magnetic resonance imaging may rival venography for accuracy. |
|
| For those especially concerned about DVT, he recommends wearing support stockings, which helps push the blood through the legs better. |
|
| In this study, use of elastic compression stockings provided effective prevention of DVT formation. |
|
| To prevent DVT, the stocking must be rated at least 15 mm Hg to 20 mm Hg compression. |
|
| Most studies of alteplase use in the treatment of DVT have involved systemic administration. |
|
| I'd like to take a sleeping pill but am worried if I zonk out I'll get a DVT in my leg. |
|
| Unfortunately, the ideal diagnostic procedure for DVT, a CT venogram is not an acceptable screening examination. |
|
| It is estimated that DVT affects one in 5,000 travellers on long flights. |
|
| High-risk patients who should not get thrombolytic treatment for DVT include those with a history of peptic ulcer disease, stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, or brain surgery. |
