Obscure presentation of postthrombotic syndrome
Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) will develop in 20% to 50% of patients within 1 to 2 years of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Limbs afflicted with PTS have more than three times the odds of having combined reflux and obstruction compared with ...

Medical Treatment for Postthrombotic Syndrome. [PDF]
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a prevalent disease. About 20 to 30% of patients with DVT will develop postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) within months after the initial diagnosis of DVT. There is no gold standard for diagnosis of PTS, but clinical signs include pitting edema, hyperpigmentation, phlebectatic crown, venous eczema, and varicose veins.

Interventional treatment of postthrombotic syndrome. [PDF]
Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) is the development of symptoms and signs of chronic venous insufficiency following deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and has a significant negative effect on the quality of life. The current understanding is that the clinical manifestation of PTS is related more to venous obstruction than it is to venous reflux.
