[Radiology of acute phlebothrombosis (author's transl)]

The difference in technique of phlebography in acute phlebothrombosis and that in chronic venous insufficiency is demonstrated. Since acute phlebothrombosis can be cured with good results by thrombectomy and fibrinolysis in the first few days of the disease, phlebography should be performed early, preferably the day on which the presence of acute thrombosis is suspected.
