Incidence of early post-operative iliofemoral thrombosis.

Incidence of early post-operative iliofemoral thrombosis.

The doppler ultrasound probe was used to study 138 patients after major surgery to assess the incidence of iliofemoral thrombosis in the early postoperative period. The patients were simultaneously studied with the 125-I-fibrinogen uptake test. The accuracy of the ultrasonic technique was assessed concurrently by comparing its results with those of ascending phlebography in a separate group of ...

46a. Iliofemoral Venous Thrombosis

Fondaparinux for post-operative venous thrombosis prophylaxis.

Fondaparinux (Arixtra TM ) belongs to a new class of synthetic antithrombotic agents called pentasaccharides. It was recently approved in Canada for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries of the lower limbs such as hip fracture, knee surgery and hip replacement surgery. Fondaparinux was more efficacious in three of four phase III trials ...

Early post operative mortality of Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot

Introduction: Since 1954, after the first surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), several innovations have occurred in cardiac surgery, especially in children. One stage complete repair of TOF is currently possible even in infancy; however, complications such as hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction, sudden death, and valvular disorders may happen. In this study, we evaluated the res...

Comparison of Post Operative Early Active and Passive Mobilization of Flexor Tendon in Zone 2

Objectives: Despite numerous studies, having the best outcome is challenging after flexor tendon repairs in zone 2. This study were done to test the hypothesis that immediate postoperative active mobilization will achieve similar outcomes to passive mobilization. Methods: Fifty fingers in 38 patients with flexor tendon repair in zone 2 were enrolled in this trial. The patients randomly assig...
