Compression therapy and thrombo-embolic venous diseases

Abstract

The treatment of venous thromboembolic disease is
dominated by pharmacological strategies. In real life, medical
compression is very lax with regard to recommendations,
particularly in terms of pressure prescribed to patients. If
the place of compression in the prevention of deep vein
thrombosis is currently reduced, it remains indispensable
for the management of pathology in its acute phase as well
as for the prevention and treatment of post thrombotic
morbidity. The studies provide important clues for early
onset of the earliest possible compression therapy in the
acute phase of venous thrombosis
