Brief Summary

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

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can cause long-term scarring and narrowing of veins. When there is extensive damage to the veins in the legs, groin or abdomen it can affect the way that blood is able to flow back up to the heart. Some patients are left with severe symptoms such as pain, leg swelling and ulcers, and have surgical treatment with nitinol stents to re-open the veins and relieve symptoms. The primary aim of this study is to investigate venous blood flow to the heart during exercise in patients with extensive damage to the veins in the groin and abdomen after DVT, and changes that happen after stenting.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will have cardiopulmonary exercise testing, 6 minute walk test and basic blood tests to establish exercise tolerance and rule out other heart and lung conditions. Exercise cardiac MRI will be used to evaluate cardiac function during exercise. All participants will complete generic and disease specific quality of life questionnaires.

Participants who are having a stenting procedure will repeat assessments 6-8 weeks after surgery.
