Conditions

Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis, Venous Thromboembolism

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate patients with inferior vena cava (IVC)thrombosis in terms of etiology, clinical course and prognosis during long-term follow-up. Patients with isolated lower extremity DVT, matched for age and gender, serve as controls.

Detailed description

All Patients are assessed using a standardized questionnaire and details concerning VTE risk factors, concomitant disease, medical conditions, diagnosis and therapy of IVC thrombosis were registered. A blood sample is taken to test for inherited and acquired thrombophilia. In addition, duplex ultrasound examination and digital photoplethysmograph are performed to assess postthrombotic syndrome.
