Popis: Diagnostic strategies to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) have changed significantly over the last 15 years. Whereas venography still is the gold standard for detecting DVT, the introduction of DVT-scores, d-dimer-testing and venous ultrasound made it replaceable in most cases for detecting venous thromboembolisms. The same is true for the diagnostic approach to pulmonary embolism: the combination of d-dimer-testing and venous ultrasound followed by szintigraphic or computertomographic lung scan almost replaced pulmonal angiography. This review focuses on different diagnostic strategies for clinicians in hospitals using practical approaches. Combination of these procedures in a graduated scheme - as postulated in guidelines - enables clinicians to diagnose deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism fast and on a firm basis. Therefore the use of venography is not mandatory in most cases.
