[Etiologic assessment of venous thromboembolism].
Venous thromboembolic disease, deep vein thrombosis and pulmoanry embolism is a chronic, recurrent multifactorial disease. Cohort studies show that the etiology remains unknown in about 50% of cases. Clinical exam is conducted for all cases. Systematic complementary exams are of poor information, and paraclinical investigation should be limited.
