Ultrasound Imaging of Superficial Venous Thrombosis in the Upper and Lower Extremities : Closing the Gap Between Clinical Management Guidelines and Ultrasound Practice Parameters

© 2021 American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine..

Superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) of the upper and lower extremities has long been considered a relatively benign condition. But in recent years, the literature has suggested a benefit to anticoagulation in patients with certain thrombus characteristics (size, location, and distance to deep venous system) resulting in updates to clinical guidelines for the treatment of lower extremity SVT. Despite these now well-established guidelines, there remains a paucity of guidance from national and international societies regarding the imaging of superficial veins when evaluating for venous thrombosis. We recommend potential strategies to close this gap.
