Significance of Partial or Complete Thrombosis of the Common and Deep Femoral Vein in Patients With Deep Vein Thrombosis.

CONCLUSION: The presence of occlusive thrombus in the CFV and/or in the DFV pointed to a DVT also involving the ipsilateral iliac veins. Thrombosis of the deep leg veins extending into the CFV below the inguinal ligament was more likely to be partial in the CFV, mainly due to inflow from the DFV.
