For a period of 4 years, we conducted deep vein thrombosis (DVT) examinations among people living in temporary homes and those living in their own homes in areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. We divided those with positive results for DVT after receiving numerous examinations into a DVT disappeared group and a DVT remained group. The thrombus formation sites were the soleus muscle veins for both groups. In terms of characteristics, multiple organized thrombi were recognized, and there was no spread to the central side. In addition, the DVT remained group exhibited an increased maximum diameter of the soleal vein. We believe that stasis of blood flow due to the extension of the soleal veins contributed to the continued formation of thrombi.
