  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can use ultrasound imaging to determine the type of clots in patients to help better manage their care.

Study Design: Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Official Title: Aging Venous Thrombi With Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging

Further study details as provided by University of Michigan:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine if ultrasound imaging will aid in the diagnosis and classification of venous blood clots [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Follow-up with subjects who have been diagnosed with Acute DVT to see if they develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) [ Time Frame: first year following diagnosis of acute DVT ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 86
Study Start Date: December 2002
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Ultrasound imaging of Acute DVT
 Procedure: Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging of Acute DVT
Experimental: 2
Ultrasound imaging of Chronic DVT
 Procedure: Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging of Chronic DVT

Detailed Description:

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot and is a common illness that can result in pain and death if not recognized and treated well. Death can occur when the venous clots break off and form pulmonary emboli (PE), which can block the arteries of the lungs. DVT and PE most often complicate the course of sick patients but may also affect healthy persons. DVT can also be a chronic disease. In those instances in which DVT and PE develop, in addition to the death risk, hospitalization is drawn out and healthcare costs are increased. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see if we can use ultrasound imaging to determine the type of clots in patients to help better manage their care.
