Antithrombin deficiency results in an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but not arterial thrombosis.
Antithrombin is a non-vitamin K dependent protease inhibitor pr...

Those with recurrent DVT require lifelong anticoagulation (2).
Asymptomatic patients do not require anticoagulation except in temporary circumstances (i.e., surgery).
