Abstract
Venous thromboembolism makes reference to a group of thromboembolic pathologies which include deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism and superficial thrombophlebitis. The relevance of this pathology relies on the fact that it is the third most important cardiovascular disease because of its high morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis might be suspected because of the clinical presentation of the patient, nevertheless, it is stablished by assessing pretest probability, laboratory tests and image studies. Anticoagulants, either parenteral or oral direct anticoagulants, are the main treatment for this pathology. Accurate treatment decreases the probability of complications which means improving the patient’s quality of life.
