Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent cause of death, both its first manifestation and subsequent recurrences. The risk of the recurrence is highest in patients with unprovoked VTE and in those with deep vein thrombosis in the proximal segment. After an obligatory 3-month anticoagulant therapy, indications for long-term anticoagulant therapy should be considered in patients with VTE. The paper presents the current state of knowledge on the prophylaxis of recurrences and a case report describing the daily choices made in patients at highest cardiovascular risk.
