Vascular Boot Warming Program After Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ± Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute DVT of Lower Extremity

In brief

The Researchers are studying whether a vascular boot warming program plus standard of care anticoagulation can be a safe and effective method to resolve Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ±Pulmonary Embolism (PE) earlier and prevent development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Additionally, to learn whether a more detailed imaging of the affected lower extremities will provide a more accurate and reliable method to guide treatment for this condition.
