Dr. Li Man
Lower limb venous thrombosis in the elderly is generally curable. However, if it is caused by tumor-related factors or immune system disorders, the likelihood of a cure is lower, and frequent recurrence may occur even after successful treatment. Upon diagnosis of lower limb venous thrombosis, patients can be treated under medical guidance with medications such as dabigatran.
