In medicine, superficial venous thrombosis is a form of embolism and thrombosis.

Prognosis

Superficial venous thrombosis can be associated with deep venous thrombosis and an accompanying deep venous thrombosis occurring simultaneously or later.[1]

Treatment

"Fondaparinux at a dose of 2.5 mg once a day for 45 days was effective in the treatment of patients with acute, symptomatic superficial-vein thrombosis of the legs and did not have serious side effects" according to a randomized controlled trial. [2]
