Air travel and venous thromboembolism: minimizing the risk.
Cleve Clin J Med. 2011 Feb; 78(2):111-20.CC

Abstract

For those traveling on long flights, the risk of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, generally referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE), is real and dangerous if left unrecognized or untreated. The goal of this publication is to provide an overview of how best to prevent VTE during travel, and how to diagnose and treat it.
