title: New insights into treatment of venous thromboembolism.
abstract: Several advances have occurred over the last 2 years in the clinical management of venous thromboembolism (VTE), as evidenced by several high-profile publications in top-tier medical journals. The translation of the knowledge gained into routine clinical practice is an important challenge so that VTE is managed optimally and established and new anticoagulants are used effectively and safely. This chapter reviews issues of VTE treatment from acute management to treatment of long-term complications, addressing new data gained in the last 2 years and putting them into a clinical context, with the goal of improved everyday VTE management.
