Canadian Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) #ClotTop10C
Venous thromboembolism (or VTE), also known as venous blood clots is a serious medical condition that can affect people of all ages and gender.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a deep vein, usually the leg
- Pulmonary Embolism (PE), a blood clot that has travelled to the lung vessels
The goal of the VTE PSP is to engage with patients, caregivers and clinicians to identify uncertainties about the prevention, diagnosis, management and long term impact of VTE and its associated treatments on patients, caregivers, and their families. These uncertainties will be used to guide future research.
