[The diagnostic procedure in deep venous thrombosis. The authors' experience].
Diagnostic flow chart of 101 patients admitted with suspected TVP between 1987 and 1991 is discussed. In all of them Doppler cw and radionuclide venography with pulmonary scanning with albumin Tc 99 were performed. Since the 90's a triplex scanner was employed, usually after Doppler cw examination. Phlebography was considered as a golden backup. Pulmonary embolism was detected in 15% of patients and 2/3 were completely asymptomatic.
