Incidental venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosed on an imaging test, usually computed tomography, performed for another reason than the clinical suspicion of VTE. Incidental VTE is particularly frequent in patients with cancer who have an increased risk of VTE and who underwent frequent imaging tests for staging purposes and assessment of anticancer treatment. Incidental venous thromboembolism and clinically suspected venous thromboembolism should receive the same anticoagulant treatment http://bit.ly/2NQ4l8U

偶然发现的静脉血栓栓塞，但仍然是静脉血栓栓塞

偶然静脉血栓栓塞 (VTE) 是指通过影像学检查（通常是计算机断层扫描）诊断出的深静脉血栓形成或肺栓塞 (PE)，其原因不是临床怀疑 VTE。在 VTE 风险增加且经常接受影像学检查以进行分期和抗癌治疗评估的癌症患者中，偶然发生 VTE 尤为常见。偶发静脉血栓栓塞和临床疑似静脉血栓栓塞应接受相同的抗凝治疗 http://bit.ly/2NQ4l8U
