Mechanical therapies include the use of graduated compression stockings along with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC)or venous foot pump (VFP).The venous foot pump is limited primarily to when IPC cannot be used,such as when surgery or injury occurs to the affected lower extremity.Pharmacological regimens that include the administration of low-dose unfractionated heparin,low-molecular-weight heparin,factor Xa inhibitor (fondaparinux),or warfarin are recommended.
