Key result
Combining pretest probability, D-dimer, and imaging provides the optimal strategy for diagnosing venous thromboembolism.
Why the study?
Optimal evaluation strategies for venous thromboembolism diagnosis using clinical pretest probability rules and appropriate testing require clarification.

What is the optimal approach to evaluating and diagnosing venous thromboembolism using clinical pretest probability rules, D-dimer assays, and imaging techniques?
This review outlines the optimal diagnostic approach for venous thromboembolism using clinical decision rules, D-dimer assays, and imaging.
Venous thromboembolism is a significant clinical entity that includes two associated medical disorders: deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The goal of this article is to describe the optimal approach to evaluating venous thromboembolism including pretest probability clinical decision rules and appropriate testing to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
