Currently, patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities receive the ultrasound investigation of their deep vein system, either by limited ultrasonography (ultrasonography confined to the proximal veins, repeating the test after one week in patients with positive D-dimer) or by extended ultrasonography (ultrasonography extented to the entire deep vein system of the legs). No study has directly compared the two strategies to assess their accuracy and safety. We plan to compare the accuracy and safety of the two strategies in a prospective randomized study addressing more than 2000 consecutive outpatients presenting with the clinical suspicion of DVT.
