  Background: Two point CUS (2-CUS) for the diagnosis of symptomatic proximal DVT overlooks calf vein thrombosis (CVT) indicating the need to repeat 2-CUS after one week, which is not cost-effective. Complete CUS (CCUS) of all deep veins from the groin to the ankle in a single procedure will pick up CVT, proximal DVT and isolated ileo femoral DVT plus alternative diagnoses, which is cost-effective. Methodology: We evaluated the combined use of non-invasise 2-CUS versus complete compression ultrasonography (CCUS) and quantitative Elisa D-dimer levels (500, 1000 and 1500 ng/mL) in prospective large management studies between 1998 and 2018 in view of the literature on DVT diagnosis and prevention of DVT recurrence and the post-thrombotic syndrome. Results: Complete compression ultrasonography (CCUS) followed by a sensit.. View More»
