Efficacy and safety of therapeutic anticoagulation for the treatment of isolated calf muscle vein thrombosis - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that TA may result in a significant reduction in the rate of thrombosis progression and a marginally significant increase in the rate of complete recanalization for patients with ICMVT. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and clarify whether the benefits of TA outweigh the potential harm. PMID: 27598049 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
