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