Background The efficacy and safety of anticoagulant treatment is not established for patients
with acute symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the calf. We aimed to assess whether …

OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis was initiated to assess the efficacy and safety of
anticoagulation therapy for adult patients with isolated calf vein deep venous thrombosis …

BACKGROUND: There is currently little evidence defining the clinical importance of
detecting and treating isolated distal DVT (IDDVT). International guidelines vary regarding …

The natural history of calf deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is still uncertain and it is debated
whether it warrants to be diagnosed and treated. We aimed to investigate the complication …

Background A large number of studies have examined the potential complications of calf
deep vein thrombosis (DVT). There is no consensus on when or how to treat patients to …

Importance Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) isolated to the calf veins (distal to the popliteal vein)
is frequently detected with duplex ultrasonography and may result in proximal thrombosis or …

Background—The optimal duration of oral anticoagulant therapy after a first episode of
venous thromboembolism remains controversial. Methods and Results—We performed an …

Isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), also known as calf DVT, represents up to 50% of
all lower limb DVT in ultrasound series and is therefore a frequent medical condition. Unlike …

Ultrasound series report that isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), also known as calf
DVT, represents up to 50% of all lower-limb DVTs and, therefore, is a frequent medical …

BACKGROUND: Controversy persists as to whether all calf vein thrombi should be treated
with anticoagulation or observed with duplex surveillance. We performed a systematic …
