Key result
The differentiation between recurrent deep vein thrombosis and postthrombotic syndrome remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and a lack of well-established diagnostic standards.
Why the study?
Differentiating recurrent DVT from postthrombotic syndrome is challenging due to overlapping symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings, alongside a lack of well-established diagnostic standards.
Differentiating recurrent DVT from PTS remains challenging, but emerging modalities like MRDTI and standardized clinical scores offer improved diagnostic accuracy to guide appropriate anticoagulation or endovascular therapy.

Accurate VTE diagnosis prevents missed progression and bleeding from overtreatment; leaves open validated strategies for recurrent DVT and PTS.
