Abstract:
Owing to the advanced age,limb hemiplegia,dehydration,and vessel wall injury,stroke may be easy to cause venous thromboembolism (VTE).VTE mainly include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).DVT refers to abnormal blood clotting in the veins and impedes venous return.The dislodgement of emboli from the vessel wall can form a thrombotic embolism,and cause PE,myocardial infarction,and stroke; it can not only prolong hospitalization,but also increase the mortality.This article reviews the incidence,risk factors,treatment,and prevention of DVT after a stroke.
