Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) affects approximately one in 1,000 patients yearly, and 40–70% of these patients will develop postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) in their lifetime: a constellation of symptoms and signs of chronic venous insufficiency, including pain, swelling, varicose veins, and ulcerations. PTS is associated with profound morbidity and cost, which justifies the attention it has received in recent years in the form of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on how to decrease its incidence.
