Deep Venous Thrombus Characteristics and Venous Dynamics With Subsequent Thrombus Resolution and Post-thrombotic Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Thrombus Resolution [3 Months after diagnosis of DVT.]
Ultrasound images of lower extremity DVTs comparing the initial diagnostic image of thrombus to a subsequent study performed after 3 months of anticoagulation.The lower extremity venous system is divided into 12 segments. Each vein segment will be analyzed on initial ultrasound and recorded 0 (no DVT), 1 (non-occlusive DVT), or 2 (occlusive DVT). The follow up ultrasound will be analyzed per vein segment and recorded as no residual thrombus, minimal chronic post-thrombotic changes, > 50% resolution, < 50% resolution, near occlusive DVT, no change, and progressive DVT.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Post-thrombotic syndrome [6 months after diagnosis of DVT]
Measured using the Villalta Score. Scale 0-33 with higher values indicating more severe symptoms.
- Vein Specific Quality of Life [6 months after diagnosis of DVT]
Measured using The Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study (VEINES) QOL survey. Scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Other Outcome Measures
- Post-thrombotic syndrome [3 and 12 months after diagnosis of DVT]
Measured using the Villalta Score. Scale 0-33 with higher values indicating more severe symptoms.
- Vein Specific Quality of Life [3 and 12 months after diagnosis of DVT]
Measured using The Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study (VEINES) QOL survey. Scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
- Thrombus Resolution [3 Months after diagnosis of DVT.]
Measured quantitatively by outflow parameters on air plethysmography with expelled volume measured at 1 second x 60 sec (ml/100ml/minute), expelled volume after 4 seconds, and maximum volume expelled.
