ResumenNuevos conocimientos sobre la trombosis venosa superficial, aparecidos en la última década, han modificado sustancialmente el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la misma. Esta entidad, considerada antes como una patología banal de fácil diagnóstico y sencillo tratamiento, actualmente es una patología potencialmente grave (al asociarse en muchas ocasiones a trombosis del sistema venoso profundo y la posibilidad de embolia pulmonar), que precisa de la práctica de diferentes exploraciones complementarias (eco-doppler, estudios de trombofilia, etc.) para instaurar un tratamiento específico. En este contexto, parecen estar indicadas las heparinas de bajo peso molecular.
New knowledge has come to light on superficial venous thrombosis in the last ten years, and has substantially changed its diagnosis and treatment. This condition, once considered a trivial disease, easy to diagnose and with straightforward treatment, is currently a potentially serious disease (on often being associated with deep vein thrombosis and the possibility of pulmonary embolism), which requires different complementary examinations (Echo-Doppler, thrombophilia studies, etc.), in order to install specific treatment, such as low molecular weight heparins.
