- Authors
O'Neill, Catriona; Elwell, Rebecca
- Abstract
There is some confusion surrounding the management of people with lymphoedema in the presence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This may be in relation to the suitability of commencing compression therapy or regarding the continuation of compression therapy in those who develop DVT. The purpose of this British Lymphology Society position paper is to support evidence-based practice and debunk the myths surrounding the management of DVT and lymphoedema.
