Objective  To summarize the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) at lower extremity of aged patients. Method  Clinical data of 98 aged patients with acute DVT at lower extremity who got treatment in our hospital from Junuary 2012 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Results  Of 98 aged patients with acute DVT at lower extremity, the time from disease developed to treatment was 1 day to 10 days with an average of 4 days. The main symptom was low limb swelling progressively. All the patients were treated by the comprehensive treatment based on individual anticoagulation. A total of 96 patients (98.0%) were followed up, and the follow-up period ranged from 12 months to 24 months (average of 18 months). Of 96 patients followed-up, we found a statistically significant difference between lower extremities before treatment and those at 3 months after treatment in venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and the change of lower extremity circumference (P<0.001). Of 96 patients, 9 patients were cured, 81 patients had markedly effective results, and 6 patients had effective results. None of the patients suffered from fatal pulmonary embolismin in duration of hospital day and follow-up period, and no one suffered form DVT recurrence. Conclusions  The aged patients with acute DVT at lower extremity usually see a doctor lately. The comprehensive treatment based on individual anticoagulation is safe and effective in treatment of acute DVT at lower extremity of aged patients.
