Overview

Contrast Venography as an invasive diagnostic tool that is usually used when non-invasive methods are indecisive or intervention is required.

Historically contrast venography was considered as the gold standard for Paget-Schroetter disease.
However, contrast venography is expensive and invasive method has been saved for patients with indecisive imaging findings or when intervention is required.^[1]
Venography is capable to be used as a diagnostic tool and a therapeutic intervention at the same time.^[2]
Catheter directed contrast venography can provide accurate anatomical details regarding vein and thrombus extension.
Contrast venography is also capable of detecting collateral veins. Due to these features, catheter directed contrast venography is a definitive diagnostic tool to confirm the diagnosis.^[3]
Catheter directed contrast venography is an essential tool for thrombolytic therapy.^[4]
In patients with history of renal insufficiency or allergic reaction to contrast agents, carbon dioxide and gadolinium-based contrast agents are better tolerated.
