Randomised trial of effect of compression stockings in patients with symptomatic proximalvein thrombosis Brandjes, D.P.M.; Büller, H.R.; Heijboer, H.; Huisman, M.V.; de Rijk, M.; Jagt, H.; ten Cate, J.W.

Randomised trial of effect of compression stockings in patients with symptomatic proximalvein thrombosis Brandjes, D.P.M.; Büller, H.R.; Heijboer, H.; Huisman, M.V.; de Rijk, M.; Jagt, H.; ten Cate, J.W.

The cause of acute venous thrombosis in most outpatients (91.7 percent) cannot be explained by abnormalities of coagulation-inhibiting and fibrinolytic proteins. The information obtained from the medical history concerning recurrent or familial venous thrombosis or the onset of the disease at a young age is not useful for the identification of patients with protein deficiencies.
