Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), represents a significant healthcare burden worldwide. Different aspects of clinical conditions underlying different types of embolization are discussed in order to overcome the controversy over current names for these conditions. Therefore, we suggest that venous thromboembolism (VTE) ought to be divided into deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), not pulmonary embolism (PE).
