    Introduction: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a vascular disease characterized by the formation of blood clots in the deep veins, primarily in the lower extremities. DVT can lead to serious complications, such as pulmonary embolism. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for improving patient prognosis. Methodology: A comprehensive review of the updated scientific literature was conducted, including clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta -analyses, clinical practice guidelines, and expert consensus. Relevant studies were identified through searches in databases such as PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Objective: The aim of this study is to provide an update on diagnostic criteria and treatment of deep vein thrombosis, in order to improve identifi cation and management of this disease in clinical practice. Conclusion: Advances in diagnostic criteria were identified, such as the incorporation of risk stratification tools and the use of imaging tests such as Doppler ultrasound. In addition, changes in the therapeutic approach were found, including the use of directacting anticoagulants (DOACs) instead of conventional anticoagulation therapy. These updates aim to improve early detection of DVT, reduce complications, and optimize treatment.
