Pedal venous pressure: correlation with presence and site of deep-venous abnormalities.
A prospective study of the predictive value of pedal venous pressure (PVP) in 100 consecutive cases is discussed. Deep-venous thrombosis is strongly suggested when PVP exceeds 31 cm of saline. The higher the PVP, the more proximal in location is the occluding thrombus.
