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?

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?

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.
