Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is one of the most significant complications that develops in patients after deep vein thrombosis. Patients with PTS have persistent and often worsening chronic venous insufficiency which can lead to permanent impairment of the affected organ, tissue or limb. Despite their importance, the issues of diagnosis and prevention of PTS in children are understudied in Russia. This paper is based on the analysis of recently published data and presents the current state of affairs regarding PTS in pediatrics.
