Thromboembolism Q&A: Cases and Controversies
CASE #1 A 55 year old woman being treated for osteomyelitis of the spine develops right upper extremity swelling. U/S reveals a DVT in the subclavian and axillary vein. She has a PICC line in that arm. How do you manage this?
a.Does she need anticoagulation?b.She will need another 3 weeks of IV
antibiotics. Do you remove the PICC Line?

Upper Extremity DVT
CASE #2
A 45 year old man presents with complaints of moderate but persistent calf pain and swelling. He was kicked playing soccer a five days ago and symptoms have developed since then. Ultrasound shows DVT in the posterior tibeal vein. What do you recommend?
NEW CHEST GUIDELINESIn patients with acute isolated distal DVT of the leg and without severe symptoms or risk factors for extension, we suggest serial imaging of the deep veins for 2 weeks over initial anticoagulation (Grade 2C).CHEST 2012
ISOLATED DISTAL DVTant/post tibeal, peroneal
TREATMENTLOW RISKu/s 1-2 weeks and
treat only if extends proximally
HIGH RISKtreatment same as proximal DVT
HIGH RISK + d-dimer severe symptoms cancer VTE history no reversible provoking
factor hospitalized near proximal veins > 5 cm long, mult
veins, > 7 mm
CASE #3
A 55 year-old man presents with pleuritic chest pain. His BP is 120/70, HR 105, RR is 18, and his O2 sat is 97%. His physical exam is unremarkable. A chest CT shows multiple pulmonary emboli. ECG is normal.
CASE #3
What is this patient's risk of early mortality related to PE?
What anticoagulant regiman will you start and when?
Will he be admitted and if so for how long?

Case #3a
His PESI score is 65, placing him in Class I, very low risk of PE related mortality. You decide to discharge him to home. He weighs 100 kg. He has CKD with CrCl of 39 ml/min. What dose of enoxaparin do you recommend?
Anticoagulation for VTEUse UFH preferentially
Immediate risk of bleeding

CASE # 4
A 68 year old woman falls and fractures her hip. She is in CHF on admission so OR time is delayed. On HD #3 she becomes acutely short of breath and is found to have PE and DVT. How do you manage her anticoagulation perioperatively?
