title: [Diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis of the leg. Phlebofluorography versus Doppler sonography].
abstract: In this retrospective study, the results of Doppler sonography and phlebography are compared. In about 30% cases the diagnosis of thrombosis made by Doppler sonography could not be confirmed. Agreement was better in patients with acute thrombosis or following pulmonary emboli than in those with a longer history of swelling of the lower extremities. These results agree with the findings of other authors using impedance plethysmography; this also shows lack of agreement in about 30% of the cases.
