More than half <strong>of</strong> patients presenting with clinical<br />

signs <strong>and</strong> symptoms <strong>of</strong> DVT <strong>and</strong>/or PE will not<br />

have objective pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se disorders.<br />

The following diagnostic methods are considered<br />

acceptable <strong>for</strong> documentation <strong>of</strong> DVT <strong>and</strong> PE in<br />

studies <strong>of</strong> drug efficacy <strong>and</strong> safety:<br />

PE<br />

Pulmonary angiography or<br />

Spiral CT (<strong>for</strong> large segmental emboli).<br />

Ventilation –perfusion (V/Q) lung scanning to<br />

rule out clinically important PE. High<br />

probability findings on V/Q scan to diagnose<br />

PE. O<strong>the</strong>r types <strong>of</strong> findings should be<br />

considered “non-diagnostic”, <strong>and</strong> be verified<br />

through pulmonary angiography.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> symptoms indicative <strong>of</strong> PE in<br />

a patient with demonstrated DVT, “nondiagnostic”<br />

findings on V/Q scan are sufficient
