Prevention of<unk>  begins with prevention of initial and recurrent DVT. For people hospitalized at high-risk of DVT, prevention methods may include early ambulation, use of compression stockings or electrostimulation devices, and/or anticoagulant medications. Elastic compression stockings may reduce the occurrence of<unk>  after clinically confirmed DVT. Increasingly, catheter-directed thrombolysis has been employed. This is a procedure in which a vascular interventionist will break up a clot using a variety of methods. For people who have already had a single DVT event, the best way to prevent a second DVT is appropriate anticoagulation therapy. A second prevention approach may be weight loss for those who are overweight or obese. Increased weight can put more stress and pressure on leg veins, and can predispose patients to developing<unk> .
