N2 - PTS is a frequent, chronic, burdensome, and costly complication of DVT. This scientific statement has evaluated the body of literature on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of PTS to make evidence-based recommendations to guide clinicians and other healthcare professionals.
