Deep Vein Thrombosis (VTE) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
By “VTE” we mean deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) (Figure 2). VTE represents a very important healthcare problem that affects 1–2 persons per 1000 of the population each year, and it is an important cause of both morbidity and mortality. Eikelboom J.
