Abstract

Superficial vein thrombosis of the lower limbs used to be considered a benign condition with a self-limiting clinical course. It is now known that its potential complications can be serious or even fatal, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary thromboembolism. There are different forms of clinical presentation, risk factors and different treatments for its approach, mainly in Primary Care. The Vascular Diseases Working Group of the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (SEMERGEN) has developed this update using current scientific evidence and jointly with the Spanish Chapter of Phlebology and Lymphology of the Spanish Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery.
