ACCP Guidelines: Initial <strong>DVT</strong> Therapy<br />

1.1.3 In patients with acute <strong>DVT</strong>, we recommend<br />

initial treatment with LMWH, UFH, or<br />

fondaparinux for at least 5 days and until<br />

the INR is ≥ 2.0 for 24 h (Grade 1C).<br />

1.4.1 In patients with acute <strong>DVT</strong>, we recommend<br />

initial treatment with LMWH SC once or<br />

twice daily, as an outpatient if possible<br />

(Grade 1C), or as an inpatient if necessary<br />

(Grade 1A), rather than treatment with UFH.<br />
