Combined CT pulmonary angiography and CT venography permits comprehensive assessment for pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis, and serves as a road map for therapy, although the reported yield of CT venography has decreased substantially in recent years as CTPA has been increasingly utilized/over-utilized, and CTV is not routinely performed in conjunction with CTPA at most institutions/practices, although there is still evidence to support its use, especially in high-risk patients.
