Imaging the femoral arteries may provide clinicians with a simpler way of assessing patients’ future risk of cardiovascular disease, a new study suggests. Compared with atherosclerotic plaques located ...

Ultrasound‑enhanced, catheter‑directed thrombolysis is an endovascular technique that uses high‑frequency, low‑energy ultrasound waves in combination with infusion of a thrombolytic drug, with the aim ...

Background: Compression ultrasonography performed serially over a 7-day period is recommended for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in symptomatic pregnant women, but whether this approach is safe ...
