Incidence and outcome of isolated distal deep vein thrombosis in kidney transplant recipients.

Conclusion: In Korean KTR, extension of IDDVT into the proximal vein could be prevented safely and effectively by serial DUS surveillance along with the maintenance of mechanical prophylaxis. However, the patients who have high thrombus burden or are difficult to get repeated DUS require the use of anticoagulation in early stages. PMID: 32528912 [PubMed]
