What is phlebocavography?

Phlebocavography allows you to study the condition of the veins of the lower extremities and the inferior vena cava.
An opaque X-ray contrast agent is injected to examine the deep veins of the leg, thighs, and lower abdomen.
Phlebocavography can detect blood clots, which are the main cause of pulmonary thromboembolism.
