The IDEAL DVT study, individualised duration elastic compression therapy against long-term duration of therapy for the prevention of post-thrombotic syndrome: protocol of a randomised controlled trial
INTRODUCTION Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a serious complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg that affects 20-50% of patients. Once a patient experiences PTS there is no treatment that effectively reduces the debilitating complaints. Two randomised controlled trials showed that elastic compression stocking (ECS) therapy after DVT for 24 months can reduce the incidence of PTS by...

متن کاملBelow-knee elastic compression stockings to prevent the post-thrombotic syndrome: a randomized, controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Because only limited evidence suggests that elastic stockings prevent the post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT), these stockings are not widely used. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of compression elastic stockings for prevention of the post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with proximal DVT. DESIGN Randomized, controlled clinical tr...
متن کاملElastic compression stockings fail to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome after a first deep vein thrombosis.
Context Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) characterised by clinical features ranging from minor limb swelling to leg ulceration. One in three patients with DVT will develop PTS sequelae within 5 years, with most cases reported within the first 2 years. Venous hypertension, resulting from valvular reflux and residual thrombus, is implicated ...
