About

The objective of the EDVIGE study is to determine whether a negative single distal and proximal leg veins compression ultrasonography safely rules out the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in pregnant and post-partum women with clinical suspicion of DVT.

Full description

A single distal and proximal leg veins compression ultrasonography has been shown to safely rule out the diagnosis of DVT when negative. The safety of this strategy has never been verified in pregnant or postpartum women. It could however be limited in that clinical setting, because of modified hemodynamics, hampered observation conditions, lack of respiratory modulation, higher proportion of isolated iliac deep vein thromboses. The objective of the EDVIGE study is to assess the safety of this diagnostic strategy during pregnancy and post-partum.
