In this cross-sectional analysis, 140 patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs and submitted to Doppler ultrasound (DU) were initially assessed. The ratio between left and right limbs (L:R Ratio) was 1.71:1 for all patients, 2.53:1 for females and 1.03:1 for males (p = 0.0201). L:R Ratio showed a linear correlation in all affected segments (p = 0.0020).
