ABSTRACT
Shozo Yasuoka, Shunichiro KubotaYasuoka Clinic, Musashino City, Tokyo, JapanAbstract: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and related pulmonary thromboembolism are life-threatening diseases that require efficient diagnosis and clinical management. While the diagnosis and treatment of VTE in hospitalized patients has been extensively studied, less has been reported on walk-in patients with VTE. Here we report on four outpatients with VTE that were efficiently diagnosed using the blood D-dimer test and successfully treated.Keywords: venous thromboembolism, pulmonary thromboembolism, blood D-dimer test
