Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Researchers are studying whether a vascular boot warming program plus standard of care anticoagulation can be a safe and effective method to resolve Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ±Pulmonary Embolism (PE) earlier and prevent development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Additionally, to learn whether a more detailed imaging of the affected lower extremities will provide a more accurate and reliable method to guide treatment for this condition.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants with diagnosis of acute lower extremity DVT (proximal and distal) and/or pulmonary embolism will be identified and approached for participation, when they are seen in the Thrombophilia Clinic or Mayo Hospital for management of the acute VTE. If they match the preset inclusion and exclusion criteria, they would then be consented during this visit and scheduled for baseline studies at a later date. Baseline tests include Venous plethysmorgraphy, Lower Extremity Ultrasound, and Medical history, will be conducted and if eligible, participant will then be randomized to vascular boot plus standard anti coagulation program or standard anti coagulation using a randomization program. Participants will be randomized into two groups and followed for 3 months. Standard of Care (SOC) Group (no vascular boot utilized): Patients will receive standard anticoagulation (determined at discretion of the treating provider), baseline studies, and follow up at the end of treatment (3months). Vascular Boot (VB) Group (includes vascular boot in addition to SOC): Patients will receive standard anticoagulation (determined at discretion of the treating provider), baseline studies and standardized vascular boot warming. All patients randomized to this group will wear the vascular boot for a minimum of 30 minutes per day for the first 10 days of participation. Patients in this group may initially be enrolled at either the thrombophilia clinic or the hospital.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard of Care

Ultrasound of the leg with DVT and leg circumference measurement at 3 days, 10 days, and 3 months. Ultrasound data will include data on thrombus resolution, such as size and recanalization present.

Group Type OTHER

Standard of Care

Intervention Type DRUG

Anticoagulant therapy will be decided by physician and patient.

Vascular Boot Group

For each vascular boot session, the following data will be recorded:

Wearing the vascular boot during first 10 days of study for minimum of 30 minutes per day

Group Type OTHER

Vascular Boot

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

The Vascular Boot is one size fits all, insulated fleece padding, and cell foam to enhance and maintain lower limb warmth while maintaining no pressure points on the lower extremity.

Standard of Care

Intervention Type DRUG

Anticoagulant therapy will be decided by physician and patient.
