ANSWERING RELATIVES QUESTIONS IN DVT # Why did the thrombosis occure? Three reasons : Stagnation of blood in leg veins Damage to walls of veins . Abnormality in the blood itself # Is it because of family history There is inherited tendency could be present in close family members # Was it the result of bad postoperative nursing ? Even with preventative measures ( LMW heparin ) remains risk after any surgery # Does the warfarin continue for life? Depends on the circumstances If a second DVT is treated with warfarin for 6 months recurrence rate 20% compared with 2% if continued for life . # the risk of postarthroplasty DVT persists for up to 6 weeks # Half of patients will have had a silent PE by the time the DVT presents. Best wishes
