Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Compression stockings to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome: a randomised placebo-controlled trial.
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a common and burdensome complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Previous trials suggesting benefit of elastic compression stockings (ECS) to prevent PTS were small, single-centre studies without placebo control. We aimed to assess the efficacy of ECS, compared with placebo stockings, for the prevention of PTS. ⋯ Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
