Present and future options for treatment of infrainguinal deep vein disease.

Objective: Management of chronic deep vein disease focuses on the alleviation of reflux and obstruction. For the suprainguinal veins, the main underlying pathologic process is obstruction, which has been recognized as a significant contributor to chronic venous insufficiency. This is currently being addressed with venous stenting and the development of dedicated stents designed for this segment of the venous system.

Duplex Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Acute and Chronic Venous Diseases.

Diverse management of isolated calf deep venous thrombosis in a university hospital.

Background: The management of patients with isolated deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is controversial, leading to overtreatment and undertreatment with several complications and increased cost. The aim of this study was to describe the management of isolated calf DVT (ICDVT) in a university hospital.

Methods: Data on patients with acute DVT in our hospital are prospectively entered in a database through our venous thromboembolism team.
