Overview
Contrast Venography as an invasive diagnostic tool which is usually used when non-invasive methods are indecisive or intervention is required.
Other Diagnostic Studies : Contrast Venography
- Historically contrast venography was considered as the gold standard for Paget-Schroetter disease. However, this 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. It 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]
