Abstract

Real-time venous ultrasound has replaced phlebography for making the diagnosis of clinically relevant lower extremity DVT. Phlebography is still useful in suspected calf vein thrombosis when an immediate diagnosis is required and in the postoperative patient. A combination of sonography and contrast phlebography is used to sort out the extent of chronic and acute venous changes in patients with chronic deep vein thrombosis.
