Program Description: Despite the existence of comprehensive evidence-based guidelines, adequate pharmacologic and mechanical approaches to thromboprophylaxis are underutilized. Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), which is comprised of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is considered the most prevalent preventable cause of death during hospitalization. The purpose of this VTE Management conference is to concisely review the available literature, current practice guidelines, and consensus statements to be able to implement contemporary treatment guidelines into clinical practice.
