Many different medical conditions affect the venous systems in the legs, with deep vein thrombosis being one of the most significant. However, in many people, DVT is only the precursor to another important condition – post thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Post thrombotic syndrome can be a painful, debilitating condition that can adversely impact your quality of life (QOL) indicators and activities of daily living (ADL).
Post thrombotic syndrome is a condition that affects those who have suffered from deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and develops after DVT. In the past, PTS was thought to be largely a cosmetic concern, albeit one with painful side effects. Today, phlebologists, also known as vein specialists have realized exactly how costly and debilitating this condition truly is.
Post thrombotic syndrome presents with a range of different signs and symptoms. Moreover, because it is a “syndrome,” those signs and symptoms can vary considerably from patient to patient, with significant and unique presentations in each case.
This guide is designed to help you understand exactly what post thrombotic syndrome is, whether you are at risk for developing this condition and what signs and symptoms to look for that might indicate its development. In addition, this guide will help you understand diagnostic processes for PTS, as well as treatment options and even provide you with an understanding of how to prevent post thrombotic syndrome from developing.
If you have suffered from deep venous thrombosis, you are at risk for developing post thrombotic syndrome. This guide was developed specifically for people in your situation.
Our interest in post thrombotic syndrome comes from our clinical observations and care of patients in our phlebology practices. As Board Certified vein specialists (phlebologists), we have seen innumerable patients with DVT who have had recurrent visits and hospitalizations for complications despite adequate treatment for the DVT.
