- Abstract
An editorial is presented on the Venous Forum of the Royal Society of Medicine (RSMVF), which has produced Advice on Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE) Prophylaxis for patients who have Varicose Vein Procedures. The article discuses that it perceived an unmet need, because absence of evidence in this area has led to practices that vary substantially, with potential risks for patients.
