Table 3 Relation between initial thrombus vessel and presence and location of postthrombotic changes as seen by ultrasonography at 5 years follow-up
From: A follow-up study of the fate of small asymptomatic deep venous thromboses
No post-thrombotic changes | Posttrombotic changes | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Fewer segments | Same segments | New segments | ||
Initial DVT vein segment: | ||||
Muscular veins (n = 5) | 5 | |||
Post tibial veins, PTV (n = 7) | 3 | 3 | 1 | |
Fibular veins, F (n = 27) | 12 | 12 | 3 | |
PTV + F (n = 7) † | 1 | 5 | 1 | |
