POST-THROMBOTIC SYNDROME

Course overview

PTS is a painful, debilitating condition that can occur after a deep venous thrombosis (DVT). In some cases, the causative DVT is unnoticed at first and only diagnosed after PTS develops. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of PTS, including its etiology, clinical presentation, and treatment, and to aid in caring for patients with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
