Deep Venous Thrombus Characteristics and Venous Dynamics With Subsequent Thrombus Resolution and Post-thrombotic Syndrome

The Relationship Between Deep Venous Thrombus Characteristics and Venous Dynamics With Subsequent Thrombus Resolution and Post-thrombotic Syndrome

The goal of this study is to examine in vivo thrombosis characteristics with ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and determine the relationship with thrombus resolution and postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with acute proximal Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of acute, proximal (popliteal and above) DVT with or without Pulmonary Embolism within 72 hours
• ≥18 Years Old

Exclusion Criteria

• prior episode of DVT
• contraindication to standard therapeutic anticoagulation
