Class Extension of thrombosis Treatment
I Up to the junction of superficial and deep venous systems. Watchful waiting, with serial ultrasound follow-up.
II Extends beyond the junction, with a cross-sectional diameter < 50%. Low molecular weight heparin until resolution of the thrombus, with ultrasound follow-up.
III Extends beyond the junction, with a cross-sectional diameter > 50%. Low molecular weight heparin and vitamin k antagonist.
IV Totally occlusive deep venous thrombosis. Low molecular weight heparin and vitamin k antagonist.
