Safety and Feasibility of a Diagnostic Algorithm Combining Clinical Probability,d-Dimer Testing, and Ultrasonography for Suspected Upper Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis

Background: Although well-established for suspected lower limb deep venous thrombosis, an algorithm combining a clinical decision score, d-dimer testing, and ultrasonography has not been evaluated for suspected upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT). Objective: To assess the safety and feasibility of a new diagnostic algorithm in patients with clinically suspected UEDVT. Design: Diagnostic management study. (ClinicalTrials.gov:...
