title: Relationship between Specific Distributions of Isolated Soleal Vein Thrombosis and Risk Factors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The relationship between specific distributions of isolated soleal vein thrombosis (SVT) and risk factors was investigated.
  
  
  METHODS
  The subjects included 93 patients with SVT diagnosed with ultrasonography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the acute thrombus distribution, the thrombi of central veins were significantly more frequent than the thrombi of medial veins in the unilateral SVT. The thrombi of central veins were not more significantly frequent than the thrombi of medial veins in the bilateral SVT.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The risk factors of bilateral SVT are considered to be different from that of the unilateral SVT. (English translation of J Jpn Coll Angiol 2013; 53: 159-166).
