Iliofemoral Venous Thrombosis Mainly Related to Iliofemoral Venous Obstruction by External Tumor Compression in Cancer Patients

BACKGROUND To study iliofemoral venous thrombosis related to iliofemoral venous obstruction in cancer patients. METHODS In this case series study, 829 cancer patients were surveyed for iliofemoral obstruction/thrombosis within 10 years. The criteria for inclusion were: (1) presence of unilateral lower-extremity swelling; (2) computed tomography (CT) scans showing a tumor with external compres...

Iliofemoral Venous Thrombectomy

Experience with iliofemoral venous thrombectomy in 45 cases has been reviewed. The indications for this procedure have been presented, and only two absolute contraindications are recognized. Certain aspects of surgical technique and of postoperative care have been discussed, with emphasis on the use of local anesthesia, the balloon catheter, and early postoperative ambulation. Results indicate ...

Salvage of renal allograft using venous thrombectomy in the setting of iliofemoral venous thrombosis.

A 49-year-old Caucasian female underwent a second kidney–pancreas transplant in May 2002 for end-stage diabetic nephropathy. Her postoperative course was complicated by intra-abdominal sepsis and the development of bilateral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The patient was treated conservatively, with a 6-month course of oral anticoagulation. One month after discontinuation of oral anticoagulation...

Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis Secondary to Venous Compression by a Massively Distended Bladder

A case of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis secondary to venous compression by a massively distended bladder is reported. Ascending venography was valuable in identifying the primary cause of venous obstruction, as well as guiding thrombolysis.
