A Rare Presentation of Arterial Thrombosis after Venous Thrombosis in a Patient with Gastric Cancer
Background: Venous thromboembolism, which comprises deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with cancer. The aim of the present study was to report a rare presentation of arterial thrombosis after venous thrombosis in a patient with gastric cancer. Report of the Case: A 45 year-old female patient with locally advanced gas...
متن کاملClinical validity of a negative venogram in patients with clinically suspected venous thrombosis.
Although it is generally accepted that negative venography excludes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients in whom it is clinically suspected, there is no evidence to support this conclusion. To test the correctness of withholding anticoagulant therapy in these patients, we followed 160 consecutive patients who had clinically suspected DVT and negative venograms to determine the frequency of po...
متن کاملD-dimer testing reduced the need for ultrasonographic imaging in outpatients with suspected deep venous thrombosis.
P a t i e n t s 1096 outpatients (mean age 58 y, 58% women) who had suspected lower-extremity DVT. Exclusion criteria included refusal or inability to consent, geographic inaccessibility, symptom resolution for > 72 hours, suspected pulmonary embolism, life expectancy < 3 months, use of therapeutic anticoagulation for > 48 hours, pregnancy, and age < 18 years. 1082 patients (99%) completed foll...
متن کاملImpedance plethysmography: the relationship between venous filling and sensitivity and specificity for proximal vein thrombosis.
We investigated the hypothesis that the diagnostic accuracy of impedance plethysmography (IPG) for thrombosis of the popliteal or more proximal veins increases with enhanced venous filling. Venous filling was increased by prolonging cuff occlusion and by sequential testing. IPG and vengography were performed on 169 legs with and 317 legs without proximal vein thrombosis. The sensitivity and spe...
متن کاملWhole-Arm Ultrasound to Rule Out Suspected Upper-Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis in Outpatients.
Whole-ArmUltrasound to Rule Out Suspected Upper-Extremity DeepVenous Thrombosis in Outpatients Upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis (UE-DVT) accounts for approximately 14% of all cases of DVT.1 Because UE-DVTmayprovokepulmonary embolism (PE), prompt diagnosis is necessary to select the patients who require anticoagulation. This study aimed to evaluate the failure rate of ultrasonographic scre...
