New unilateral leg swelling on post-op day 5 after a pelvic cancer resection is a DVT until proven otherwise, even if painless and with good pulses (pulses are present in DVT). Keep the patient and get a venous duplex ultrasound.
- CT venography is used only if duplex is inconclusive.
- CT angiogram assesses arteries.
- Discharging the patient or giving physiotherapy alone misses a possible DVT.
