Retain and provide copies of hard-copy output with analysis of all data (including bidirectional vascular flow or imaging when provided) in the patient record.

For outpatient non-active cancer patients with Wells score <2, include the positive D-dimer result in the record prior to performing ultrasound.
For follow-up ultrasounds in patients on therapy, document the clinical change and rationale showing how change in thrombus burden will alter treatment.

Perform peripheral venous ultrasound to evaluate clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of acute or new-onset deep vein thrombosis (e.g., extremity swelling, tenderness, erythema).
Perform venous ultrasound to investigate DVT as the source of a confirmed pulmonary embolism.
Repeat or perform venous ultrasound for patients with known venous thrombosis who have a clinical change and where documented change in thrombus burden would alter management or therapy.
Perform venous ultrasound to evaluate postthrombotic (postphlebitic) syndrome in patients with symptoms consistent with PTS (e.g., chronic leg pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, or leg ulcers).
