If lower extremity venous thrombosis is detected early and treated promptly, the clot can usually be eliminated within a short period, leading to complete resolution of symptoms and a potential cure. However, if treatment is delayed and the clot has become chronic, medication may not completely remove the clot, leaving some residual thrombus. In such cases, long-term compression therapy and prolonged measures to reduce swelling are generally required to alleviate symptoms.
