Abstract: With the escalation of population aging, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly patients has significantly increased, emerging as a public health issue that seriously threatens the health and life of the elderly. This paper explores the epidemiological characteristics, high-risk factors and diagnostic processes, and expounds on the applicable scenarios, drug selection, and precautions of different treatment methods, including anticoagulant therapy, thrombolytic therapy, endovascular treatment, and compression therapy. It is emphasized that during the treatment process, the physiological characteristics, comorbidities, and drug interactions of elderly patients should be comprehensively considered to formulate individualized treatment plans, so as to improve treatment efficacy, reduce the incidence of complications, and enhance the quality of life and prognosis of elderly patients.
