【 摘 要 】

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which usually occurs in the lower extremities, is thepresence of a blood clot within a deep vein that causes symptoms by breaking thevenous return. Many cases of calf vein DVT are asymptomatic, or display only mildsymptoms. But in the case of a proximal DVT, it affects the venous flow through theentire lower extremity, which results in a post-thrombotic syndrome, or a pulmonary embolism, if the proper treatment isn't performed. The diagnosis of the DVT ismade by a radiologic examination. An ultrasound is often used as a first line of diagnosis, but on the other hand, computed tomography venography has also beengaining traction as an alternative method. If diagnosed, finding the cause of theDVT is important, and in the case of a symptomatic proximal DVT, the combinationof anticoagulation and interventional treatment can be used towards the recoveryof the venous return, preventing complications.
