Doppler Ultrasound Imaging of Plastic Surgery Patients for DVT Detection

NCT02123550 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2000

Last updated 2018-09-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective controlled study examines the use of Doppler ultrasound as a means to screen elective plastic surgery patients for the presence of deep venous blood clots both before and after surgery. This is a noninvasive technique that is known to be both sensitive and specific for the detection of deep venous thromboses in the lower extremities. This method may make it unnecessary to select patients for prophylactic anticoagulation, which poses additional risks to the patient.
