Deep Venous Thrombosis with Suspected Pulmonary Embolism: Detection with Combined CT Venography and Pulmonary Angiography

Abstract

Combined CT venography and pulmonary angiography can accurately depict the femoropopliteal deep veins, permitting concurrent testing for venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. CT venography also defines pelvic or abdominal thrombus, which was seen in 17% of patients with deep venous thrombosis.
