Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the value of indirect CT venography (CTV) in a clinical practice within the UK. Methods: 804 combined CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) and CTV studies were retrospectively reviewed. CTV was performed 180 s following the injection of contrast using an incremental technique with a 5 mm collimation and a 5 cm interspace between images extending from the iliac crests to the tibial plateaus. Results: 12.9% of studies had isolated pulmonary emboli (PE), 3.0% had both a PE and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and 1.1% had an isolated DVT. The proportion of positive cases diagnosed by CTV alone was 6.6%. Conclusion: In a UK based practice the incidence and the proportion of isolated DVT diagnosed by CTV are lower than expected from published data. An analysis of possible causes for this is made within the paper. |
