Deep Venous Thrombus Characteristics and Venous Dynamics With Subsequent Thrombus Resolution and Post-thrombotic Syndrome

Completed
Conditions
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Registration Number
NCT04597138
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
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).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Thrombus Resolution3 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
NameTimeMethod
Post-thrombotic syndrome6 months after diagnosis of DVT

Measured using the Villalta Score. Scale 0-33 with higher values indicating more severe symptoms.

Vein Specific Quality of Life6 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.
