Case report demonstrates successful conservative management of extensive DVT in an 88-year-old man, highlighting the importance of anticoagulation and multidisciplinary care.
Key Points
Conservative treatment achieved a therapeutic INR of 2-3 without surgical intervention, supporting effective management of extensive DVT.
The patient presented with extensive bilateral DVT linked to multiple risk factors, including hypercoagulability from antiphospholipid syndrome.
A multidisciplinary approach enabled tailored anticoagulation therapy to address the patient's complex medical history and prevent further thrombotic events.
At four-week follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence, demonstrating the potential of conservative management in high-risk cases.
