Abstract

A most common complication of acute ischemic stroke is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), preferentially of the paralytic limb. Without prophylactic therapy an incidence of 33%–70% has been reported, according to the method used for detection, i.e., clinical symptomatology, phlebography, or 125I-fibrinogen scanning, the latter being most sensitive [1–4].
