I am currently not working as a vascular tech but I'm in the hospital and there is a patient on our floor who was diagnosed with a calf clot 2 days ago, the report does not indicate if it is acute or chronic but when I was working with the vascular dr's I know they typically did not take the SCD's off patients with calf clots. The PT was asking questions about it because our dr d/c the SCD's thinking it would cause the clot to propogate into a PE. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you !
