Diagnosis

The Villalta scale has become the recommended tool for the diagnosis of PTS. It is a group of objective signs (ranked by severity) and subjective symptoms that clinicians may reliably use to diagnose PTS and its severity. Since signs and symptoms of DVT and PTS may be quite similar, a diagnosis of PTS should be delayed for 3-6 months after DVT diagnosis so that an appropriate diagnosis can be made.
