Proximal venous ultrasound with risk stratification safely excludes deep venous thrombosis in emergency department routine care: an observational study
In this single-center ED study the combination of PUL and risk stratification in routine care was a safe and effective method for the early diagnosis and ruling out DVT. Using this approach, more than 8 out of 10 patients could be diagnosed in the ED without the need for external diagnostic support.
