case_images: Ultrasonography revealed a thrombus in the left but not in the right femoral vein (Fig. 1), and computed tomographic angiography revealed clots in the right distal pulmonary artery. However, because some clots were still observed in the popliteal vein (Fig. 1), treatment with edoxaban was continued. Ultrasonography showed further regression of the clots in the left popliteal vein, leaving only mural thrombi (Fig. 1).
