Thrombus Elastography in Venous Thrombo-Embolism. (TEVTE)
Venous Thrombo-Embolic Disease (VTED) is a serious and common ailment, defined by the growth of a clot - or thrombus - in a vein, and/or as the migration of this thrombus to a pulmonary artery. It represents the third cause of death after cardio-vascular disease and cancer, and encompass superficial, muscular and Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), and Pulmonary Embolisms (PE), which can be isolated or associated. Ultrasound is today the most frequently used exam to diagnose DVT. However, it's unable to provide information on thrombus age or cause. Elastography is an imaging technic which aims to analyse elastic properties of a tissue, by applying a mechanical impulse on it, and could be an interesting tool in thrombus exploration, and provide additional information.
