Deep venous thrombosis: value of self-augmentation US evaluation

MA Kliewer, BK Sandridge, BS Hertzberg and JD Bowie
Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710.

In 10 healthy volunteers (three men and seven women, aged 24-35 years [mean, 27 years]) and 28 patients (11 men and 17 women, aged 38-74 years [mean, 60 years]) with symptoms for deep venous thrombosis (DVT), self-augmentation ultrasound (US) scanning was performed. The technique resulted in diagnostically useful venous flow augmentation in the femoropopliteal veins in all 10 (100%) limbs of volunteers, in 25 of 27 (93%) limbs of patients without DVT, and in two of seven (29%) limbs of patients with DVT. Of the patients in whom self-augmentation failed, two could not perform the maneuver and five had scans positive for DVT.
