During the past two decades, diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or calf vein thrombosis has made considerable progress.

Can post-thrombotic syndrome be cured?

There’s no cure for PTS, but there are things you can do to help ease symptoms. Blood clots in deep veins — most often in your leg but sometimes in the arm — can cause PTS when they damage small valves that help your blood flow toward your heart. The weakened valves leak and allow fluid to pool in your lower leg.
