Vascular - Common Femoral DVT
Caption
A 65 yo male presented with 2 week hx of proximal left LE pain. Pt denied trauma or risk factors for VTE. Also did not have visible abnormalities on clinical exam. Seen here is POCUS of his common femoral vein; note the hyperechoic thrombus and absent blood flow (when compared to adjacent femoral artery). This vein was also non compressible. This case highlights that even with low pre-test probability, POCUS can help drive ones differential diagnosis! Mandy Peach, MD @mandy_peach Saint John Regional Hospital. NB, Canada
