PE-HEPARIN immediately and warfarin same night. Give both until INR is between 2-3. Then stop heparin, discharge the patient and continue warfarin for 6 months with followup for checking if INR is between 2-3 everytime.

DVT: heparin and same night Warfarin.If below knee DVT on doppler, Continue warfarin for 3 months only. Above knee DVT give 6 months warfarin.
