Study objectives By means a case-control study, we sought to confirm this relationship determine main features, if any, these posttravel VTEDs. Design history, particular history recent travel, 160 patients presenting our department with VTED was scrupulously investigated. All journeys undertaken during preceding 4 weeks lasting > h by whatever transport were considered. same questionnaire submitted control group. Results When two groups are compared, is found almost four times more frequently group ( p Conclusions A factor for VTED. Posttravel thrombotic events can occur after short no other factors concomitant
