Abstract
The aim of this paper was to prospectively monitor the performance of an isolated pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (IPMT) device, the Trellis(R) Peripheral Infusion System, through a company-sponsored registry.
Demographic, thrombus characterization, and procedural data were collected on the treatmen...

Abstract
Patients with acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis treated with anticoagulation only are at high risk of developing postthrombotic syndrome. Immediate removal of the thrombus by catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) may increase patency, prevent damage of the venous valves, and prevent reflux and PTS....

Abstract
There were 21 limbs in 20 (38%) patients that underwent endovascular and/or surgical treatment. One limb underwent femoral endovenectomy and 1 limb superficial femoral vein to deep femoral vein transposition. In all, 19 limbs were scheduled for endovascular treatment. The technical success rate was...

Abstract
This study showed that the use of an SCD could reduce the incidence of hypotension from 64% to 28% and supports hemodynamic variables such as mean arterial pressure and stroke volume index when patients were changed from the supine to the beach-chair position in those undergoing shoulder arthroscopy...

Abstract
The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a common but not completely understood and rarely studied sequela of an acute deep vein thrombosis. The influence of several risk factors on the incidence or severity of PTS is controversial. The therapeutic options for PTS are still limited. App...

Abstract
The higher intensity of the pain syndrome, lowered functional activity, and more common synovitis were observed in the patients with concomitant diseases of joints and veins as compared with those without signs of venous insufficiency. After therapeutic measures, joint pain, synovitis, and lower fun...

Abstract
We operated on a total often 40-to-54-year-old patients (eight women and two men). In four cases, avalvulation of the deep veins was congenital (primary) and in the remaining six instances, it was secondary to postthrombotic lesions of the valves with complete recanalization and pronounced vertical...

Abstract
The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a long-term complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that is characterized by chronic, persistent pain, swelling and other signs in the affected limb. PTS is common, burdensome and costly. It is likely to increase in prevalence, since despite widespread use...

Abstract
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a long-term complication of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), manifesting as swelling, pain, edema, venous ectasia, and skin induration of the affected limb. PTS has been estimated to affect 23-60% of individuals with DVT, frequently occurring within 2 years of the DVT ep...

Abstract
We used a probability model to estimate the number of these events among hospitalised medical patients in the 2003 United States Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. Of 8,077,919 hospitalised medical patients at risk for VTE, we calculate that 122,235...

Abstract
The most important hemodynamic alterations occurred during the first three months after DVT. This is the crucial period during which conservative treatment needs to be improved. Further work is required in this field to study the effect of various newly emerging methods. The air-plethysmographic mea...

Abstract
Comparing the results the highest ligature effects were shown at the level of IPV ostium in the stem of VSM and VSP of both groups (p < 0.0001) with the highest diameter reduction. There was a smaller reduction of diameter in the proximal and distal segment of ostium in the group I, while there was...

Abstract
Despite considerable progress in the diagnosis and treatment of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities, one of every 2-3 patients will develop within 2 years post-thrombotic sequelae, which are severe in approximately 10% of cases and produce considerable socio-economic consequences. Am...

Abstract
We prospectively evaluated the association between levels of four cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and MCP-1), two adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) and the development of PTS in a well-defined cohort of patients with DVT. The study population consisted of 387 patients with objectively diagnosed sy...

Abstract
We report the case of a 42-year-old male with postthrombotic occlusion of the left external iliac artery since the age of 25. We managed to recanalize the obstructed vessel and establish a good flow into the inferior vena cava by venous stenting. After successful intervention the patient reported in...

Abstract
In the first series, ulcer healing was observed in 16 cases out of 19 (84%). Recurrent ulcers were observed in one case after 3 years. Valve competence was ascertained in 13 cases per 803 patient-months (1.6/100 patient-months). With regard to the second series, competence was achieved in all cases...

Abstract
We believe that healthcare providers practicing in anticoagulation clinics should be encouraged to expand their scope of practice into a more comprehensive model of antithrombosis care, including prevention of PTS. By doing so, the extent of use of compression stockings might be increased, and adher...

Abstract
At all study intervals, about 30% of patients had mild (score, 5 to 9), 10% had moderate (score, 10 to 14), and 3% had severe (score >14 or ulcer) postthrombotic syndrome. Greater postthrombotic severity category at the 1-month visit strongly predicted higher mean postthrombotic scores throughout 24...

Abstract
The aims of follow-up of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) are to avoid recurrence and possible sequels, such as pulmonary hypertension and postthrombotic syndrome of the lower limbs. Recurrences are reduced by anticoagulant therapy. In most PTE triggered by a transitory risk factor, without additiona...

Abstract
Residual venous thrombosis is an important risk factor for recurrent thromboembolism and PTS. A greater reduction in thrombus size was associated with lesser clinical events of recurrence and consequently a lesser rate of PTS. However, despite a greater recanalization with enoxaparin, the incidence...

Abstract
Resting arterial inflow was greater in patients with 1 degrees CVI when compared to normal patients (2.81 vs 1.26, P = .008) and to patients with postthrombotic venous disease (2.81 vs 1.13, P = .03). There was a 7.3-fold increase in maximal arterial inflow in normal patients during PORH versus a 4....

Abstract
PTS occurs in 20-50% of patients within 1-2 years after DVT. The principal risk factor for PTS identified to date is recurrent ipsilateral DVT; obesity and poor quality of anticoagulation for the treatment of DVT also appear to play a role. Although treatment options for established PTS are limited,...

Patients with reflux and obstruction presented more skin damage than those with reflux or obstruction alone. Involvement of the calf ve...

Abstract
The use of IVC filters appears to be safe and effective in preventing PE in patients with pelvic trauma and established venous thrombosis. The risk of recurrent DVT is low and PTS is negligible in these patients. Filter placement use is not associated with the same long-term complications as in pati...

Abstract
The use of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters to prevent pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients who have or are at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis is increasing.

Abstract
The involvement of the studied veins in DVT is extremely rare. Thrombosis in these veins can follow the natural course of thrombosis in the more usual locations and is associated with lethal incidences of PE. Therefore, the association of these veins with all the grave sequelae of thromboembolic dis...

Abstract
We performed a two-centre, randomized, cross-over controlled trial to evaluate Venowave, a novel lower-limb venous-return assist device, for the treatment of severe PTS. Eligible subjects were allocated to receive, in randomized order, Venowave for eight weeks and a control device for eight weeks. T...

Abstract
The incidence of the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is increasing along with the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The overall frequency of PTS ranges from 20 percent to 50 percent of DVT patients; severe PTS, which includes leg ulcers, occurs in a quarter of cases. Because of its severity an...
