"The term indeterminate (equivocal) DVT is preferred over subacute DVT when the ultrasound features are of neither acute DVT nor chronic post-thrombotic change (although subacute DVT can be used in the follow-up of a known acute DVT). The term chronic post-thrombotic change is preferred over chronic or residual DVT to prevent overtreatment with anticoagulation 7,8."

"Duplex ultrasound of the proximal veins is the imaging modality of choice 8. Imaging of the more distal calf veins can be performed, although some guidelines (e.g. NICE (NG158) 2020/2023) favour only proximal veins combined with D-dimer values 5."

"Complications"
"Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) most commonly occurs in the lower limbs; however, it is not uncommon in the upper limbs and neck deep veins. Other types of venous thrombosis, such as intra-abdominal and intracranial, are discussed in separate articles."
"Thromboembolic disease is regarded as a systemic disease promoted by age, diabetes and other factors and caused by endothelial dysfunction which allows clot to form, as well as inflammation and flow disturbance."
