A member asked:
Are the symptoms of capillary thrombosis the same as general venous thrombosis? does ultrasound screening typically check capillaries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Ultrasound does not have sufficient resolution to visualize capillary thrombosis which is a microscopic process. The symptoms of venous thrombosis typically are pain and swelling in an extremity. Capillary thrombosis is more typically a systemic process.
