Pulmonary embolism and post-phlebitic syndromes are the most serious risks run by the patient suffering from deep venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. The prognostic of phlebitis depends on how quickly the diagnosis is made, and on the quality of treatment. There is no constant functional or physical symptom. Diagnosis must therfore be readily referable and, if necessary, should be confirmed by paraclinical examinations. Current treatment makes particular use of heparine and haemodilution, always associated with walking and elasto-adhesive compression. Early institution of treatment means that the development of complications can be avoided and gives the patient the best chances of a cure without sequels.
