Assessing blood flow changes in patients with suspected deep vein obstruction using a non-invasive method

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate venous blood flow changes in patients suspected of having deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using a non-invasive air-filled bladder under an intermittent pneumatic compression device. The study will involve patients who have undergone a venous ultrasound within the last 72 hours to assess for DVT. The devices used in this study are investigational and not yet cleared by the FDA, focusing on improving diagnostic methods for DVT. The goal is to enhance understanding of venous hemodynamics in patients at risk for DVT.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Venous ultrasound study to evaluate for lower extremity DVT unilateral and/or bilateral within previous 72 hours.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with inaccessible target limb (ultrasound limb) due to bandages (wound, burn, lesion, etc) or cast.
* Patients with leg trauma, fracture, above or below knee amputation, or other condition in which compressing on the calf is medically inappropriate or not possible.
* Patients unable to provide informed written consent.
