Aim: Our objective was to determine suspected deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in a patient referred for the Doppler ultrasonographic examination, and to find out the typical distribution of thrombi in acute lower extremity DVT. Material and method: During 4-year, 2610 patients were examined by duplex Doppler venography. Among these, 1879 were women (72%) and 731 men (28%), with the age – range 16–80 (mean 56, 2) years. Siemens Versa Pro and GE Logiq ultrasound were used, with transducers in the frequency range 5–12MHz. The distribution of acute deep venous thromboses across various lower extremity venous segments w…
