The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between opioid
addiction
and
deep vein thrombosis
(
DVT
) and whether opioid
addiction
is a risk factor of
DVT
. This case-control study was conducted in Kerman, Iran in 2008. The cases were selected among the patients hospitalized because of
DVT
. The controls were recruited from the same hospital from internal wards. Opioid
addiction
was investigated by physician's interview based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) criteria. Logistic regression modeling was carried out for statistical analysis. The crude odds ratio (OR) of opioid
addiction
for
DVT
was 4.25 (95% confidence interval = 2.6-6.9). However, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that opioid
addiction
was not an independent risk factor for
DVT
, OR 0.56 (0.1-3). The method of opioid usage--oral or inhaled and injected--OR 6.3 (1.41-28.3) and previous surgery in the last 3 months before the study, OR 3.1 (1.36-7), were significant independent risk factors for incidence of
DVT
. Opioid
addiction
per se was not a risk factor for
DVT
, whereas the method of its use especially injection was found to be independent risk factor for
DVT
. Our results suggested the prophylactic treatment of anticoagulant for intravenous drug abuser is considerable.

A 24-year-old male was presented to us with sudden onset of chest pain and dyspnea for the past one hour. There was no history of calf pain, trauma, surgery, prolonged immobilization, long-haul air travel, bleeding diathesis or any other co-morbidity. The patient denied any
addiction
history. The Electrocardiogram showed tachycardia with S

pattern. The left arterio-venous Doppler study was suggestive of a thrombus in popliteal vein and sapheno-popliteal junction. The CT-Pulmonary Angiogram scan was suggestive of a massive pulmonary thromboembolism. The patient was thrombolysed with Intravenous Alteplase immediately and was put on tab Rivaroxaban for maintenance. He was later discharged after being stable. Unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is very rare and has the potential to lead to pulmonary embolism which could be disastrous, especially in young adults. We present such a case where unprovoked VTE was diagnosed and treated. This case suggests that high clinical suspicion is the key for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism, especially in the absence of history suggestive of
deep vein thrombosis
.
