title: Venous thromboembolism prevention during the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Although knowledge of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) continues to evolve, it is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) events, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), are common and preventable complications of ICH. On the basis of the current systematic review and guidelines, the optimal prophylactic treatment remains unclear.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In this review, we used the existing literature to provide an overview of the prevalence, treatment, guidelines, and worldwide trend and future issues regarding VTE events after ICH.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Briefly, VTE events are common, with severe complications following ICH. Clinicians should be familiar with the current guidelines and trials to identify the optimal treatment for every patient's unique condition.
