Kristopher B. Deatrick, MD, Megan Elfline, MS, Nichole Baker, RVT, Catherine E. Luke, LVT, Susan Blackburn, MS, Catherine Stabler, RN, Thomas W. Wakefield, MD, Peter K.

2 Fig 1 A, Example of grayscale image of unaffected contralateral vein image in longitudinal segment. B, Example of a postthrombotic thickened vein wall segment in a patient with a resolved thrombus at 6 months. Arrows indicate the vein wall hyperechogenicity. C, Vein wall thickness in nonthrombosed subjects and those with an acute DVT over time. D, Comparison of patient's vein wall thickness in those who did and did not resolve their DVT at 6 months. *P < .05.

3 Fig 2 A, Comparison of serum MMP-9 in patients without DVT as compared with patients with acute DVT. B, Comparison of serum D-dimer in subjects without DVT versus DVT patients. *P < .05.

4 Fig 3 A, P-selectin trended toward an increase at enrollment, but no difference was observed at 6 months. B, P-selectin was higher at 1 month in those patients who resolved their DVT as compared with those who had a chronic thrombus. *P < .05.

5 Fig 4 A, Peripheral leukocyte P-selectin ligand gene expression was reduced in DVT patients compared with non-DVT subjects at enrollment. B, TLR-9 expression was reduced in DVT patients as compared with non-DVT subjects at enrollment. C, P-selectin was increased at enrollment in those who resolved their thrombus as compared with those with chronic thrombus. D, TLR-4 expression was reduced at enrollment in those patients who had persistent thrombus. *P ≤ .05.
