He was recently hospitalized with proximal calf cellulitis, but the pain and distribution of these clinical findings are different. He has a history of calf deep venous thrombosis (DVT) approximately 10 years ago. Duplex ultrasound demonstrates thrombus within the great saphenous vein (GSV). He is initially managed conservatively with nonsteroidal agents. On repeat duplex ultrasound, he is found to have proximal propagation into the common femoral vein junction. Anticoagulation is initiated for approximately 3 months. He does well and ultimately undergoes GSV ablation.
