Treatment of isolated distal deep vein thrombosis: an international survey of healthcare professionals.

ABSTRACT: Isolated distal deep venous thrombosis (iDDVT) is an infra-popliteal DVT without pulmonary embolism (PE). It is a common condition, but its management remains debated. We conducted a survey distributed by email to the members of the French Society of Vascular Medicine, Thrombosis Canada, the Swiss Society of Angiology and INVENT-VTE research networks; Our objectives were to determine how healthcare professionals specialized in thrombosis manage iDDVT and to obtain experts input on the design of a future clinical trial. Participants were asked how they diagnosed and managed iDDVT and what should be the treatment arms of a future clinical trial on iDDVT management. 472 thrombosis specialists answered the questionnaire, mainly from France (n = 337), Canada (n = 61) and Switzerland (n = 28).
