Overview

May associate isolated soleal vein thrombosis with symptomatic PE; leaves open whether it warrants distinct management from other calf DVT.

Structured PICO

O
Outcome
Incidence and anatomical location of calf DVT and occurrence of symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE)hard clinical

Isolated soleal vein thrombosis, particularly when larger than 7 mm in diameter, is a frequent and important source of symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
