Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Abstract

Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare thrombotic condition with an incidence 60-fold lower compared with leg DVT in our institution. The striking association with cancer adversely affects overall survival rates in patients with ovarian vein thrombosis. Venous thromboembolism recurrence rates argue for anticoagulation with a direct oral anticoagulant or vitamin K antagonist, particularly in those with a history of venous thromboembolism.
