Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Comprehensive duplex ultrasound from thigh to ankle with Doppler at selected sites, rather than a limited or complete compression-only examination
A single point-of-care protocol that minimizes underdiagnosis of proximal deep venous thrombosis (DVT)
Use the term chronic postthrombotic change for residual material persisting after acute DVT, to avoid overtreatment of prior thrombus
