Site of origin of deep vein thrombus in the calf.
A phlebographic technique is described for demonstrating as fully as possible the stem and muscle veins of the calf. The findings in 103 examinations containing calf thrombus demonstrated by this method are presented. It is concluded that calf vein thrombosis is as likely to originate in stem veins as from the soleal muscle veins.
