The silent legacy of venous thromboembolism: why rehabilitation is the missing link

https://doi.org/10.17749/2313-7347/ob.gyn.rep.2026.744

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), remains a global health challenge. Modern advances in the management of acute VTE, such as the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants and interventional techniques, have led to a significantly decreased mortality rate, that however was simultaneously accounted for by a growing population of patients living with long-term disabling sequelae. The key complications are post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) developing in 20–50 % of DVT patients that manifests as chronic venous insufficiency, edema, pain, and venous ulcers as well as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which occurs in up to 4.0 % of PE survivors and leads to progressive dyspnea, heart failure, and reduced exercise tolerance. The pathogenesis of these conditions is based on incomplete vein recanalization, valvular damage, persistent inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in PTS, as well as thrombus organization and pulmonary vascular remodeling resulting in right heart failure in CTEPH. This article emphasizes the necessity to shift from an acute-event treatment model to a continuous chronic disease management paradigm. Effective rehabilitation requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment, utilizing subjective scales and questionnaires alongside objective methods (duplex ultrasound, echocardiography, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing). Key components of a rehabilitation program include optimization of anticoagulation, nutritional support, compression therapy, early mobilization, and structured physical training to enhance the muscle-venous pump mechanism and cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as psychosocial support and lifestyle modification. VTE rehabilitation despite obvious demand faces a lack of standardized protocols, a scarcity of high-quality research, and unequal access to specialized care. Future directions include personalizing programs through risk stratification, utilizing telemedicine to improve treatment adherence, and developing clinical guidelines focused on long-term functional recovery and improved patients’ quality of life.

What is already known about this subject?

► Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third lead cause of cardiovascular mortality with economic burden comparable to that of stroke, reaching tens of billions of dollars largely due to indirect costs.

► Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) develops in 20–50 % of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) occurs in 0.5–4.0 % of pulmonary embolism (PE) survivors, both leading to permanent disability.

► Up to 39 % of patients suffer from psychological disorders post-VTE, and over half of physicians report a lack of multidisciplinary teams in their institutions to manage such patients.

What are the new findings?

► It substantiates the concept that VTE is a chronic disease requi­ring not just acute-phase treatment but rather a continuous "chronic disease management" process, including rehabilitation.

► It systematically details approaches to both subjective and objective methods for assessing quality of life and health outcomes in VTE patients.

► It summarizes comprehensive rehabilitation strategies for VTE patients, encompassing pharmacological support, physical interventions, psychosocial correction, and telemedicine technologies.

How might it impact on clinical practice in the foreseeable future?

► The implementation of the presented algorithms and multidisciplinary approach has a potential to markedly enhance effectiveness of rehabilitation and secondary prevention for VTE patients.

► The use of telemedicine and mobile apps for compliance monito­ring will enable remote patient management, solving an issue of treatment adherence and the limited accessibility of rehabilitation services in remote regions.

► The development of predictive models based on artificial intelligence will allow for identification of high-risk groups for deve­loping PTS and CTEPH, enabling early initiation of intensive rehabilitation interventions.
