Abstract
Techniques for phlebography of the leg and pelvic veins in patients with suspected venous thrombosis are described. The methods used are simple, rapidly performed, painless and free of complications. It is suggested that phlebography is a reliable method for demonstrating the presence and extent of venous thrombosis and that treatment based on its use can reduce the recurrence rate of pulmonary embolism while minimizing the longterm complications of surgical treatment.
