Article Synopsis
- - Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) typically affects the legs but can also occur in the upper limbs, especially in patients with specific risk factors like PICC lines, as seen in a reported case of a 22-year-old male with Crohn's disease.
- - The patient experienced swelling and discoloration at the site of a PICC line, and tests revealed anemia and confirmed DVT in several veins, which required careful management due to his gastrointestinal bleeding.
- - A cautious approach led to the initiation of a prophylactic anticoagulation treatment, which was increased to a therapeutic dose without complications, highlighting the need for tailored DVT treatment strategies considering the complexity of Crohn's disease.
