Popis: | Summary. Background: The clinical significance of symptomatic isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is uncertain. Consequently, this leads to important disparities in its management. Objective: To examine the clinical history of isolated distal DVT and to compare it with that of proximal DVT. Methods: Using data from the international, prospective, RIETE registry on patients with confirmed symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE), we compared the risk factors and 3-month outcome in patients with isolated distal DVT vs. proximal DVT. Results: Eleven thousand and eighty-six patients with symptomatic DVT, but without pulmonary embolism, were included between 2001 and 2008; 1921 (17.3%) exhibited isolated distal DVT. Anticoagulant treatment was received by 89.1% (1680/1885) of isolated distal DVT and 91.8% (7911/8613) of proximal DVT patients for the entire follow-up period. Isolated distal DVTs were more associated with transient risk factors (i.e. recent travel, hospitalization, recent surgery), whereas proximal DVTs were more associated with chronic states (i.e. ≥75 years or with active cancer). At 3 months, major bleeding rate was lower in patients with isolated distal DVT (1.0% vs. 2.2%, P |
