Abstract

PTS is a frequent, chronic, burdensome, and costly complication of DVT. This scientific statement has evaluated the body of literature on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of PTS to make evidence-based recommendations to guide clinicians and other healthcare professionals. It is acknowledged that the body of evidence to guide management of PTS is incomplete and that therefore many recommendations rely on lower levels of evidence.
