DVT at inferior vena cava tied to higher mortality vs other sites

24 Jul 2021

The incidence of in-hospital mortality is greater among patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) involving the inferior vena cava than those with DVT at other locations, a study has found. Additionally, pelvic vein DVT is not associated with higher mortality or more in-hospital embolism when compared with proximal lower extremity DVT.
