Simplified Outpatient Lower Extremity Venography

Outpatient Lower Extremity Total Joint Arthroplasty: Where Are We Heading?

By the end of 2050, the incidences of hip and knee arthroplasties performed in the United States are projected to be more than 1.8 million and 4 million, respectively.1 In 2014 alone, more than 1 million elective lower extremity arthroplasties were performed, with collective per procedure expenditures ranging from $16,500 to $75,000. This disbursement covered surgery, hospitalization, and rehab...

A clinical study on serial retrograde venography of the lower extremity with varicose veins.

Venography furnishes a map of the otherwise invisible deep veins of the extremities, discloses pathological changes, localizes the communicating veins, and tests the function of veins and valves. This clinical study, was carried out to evaluate the serial retrograde venography of the lower extremities with varicose veins, using the serial long film changer with a tilt. Forty-three extremities w...

Radionuclide venography (RNV) of the pel via and lower extremity veins using ttmTc-albu

via and lower extremity veins using ttmTc-albu. mm microspheres was performed in 53 patients with pulmonary emboli or venous disease. In 25 patients who underwent both contrast and RNV studies, there were no false-positive studies and one false-negative. In this series the accu racy of RNV exceeded that of Doppler alone. When the results of these two methods were combined, false-negative studie...

Combined Direct and Indirect CT Venography (Combined CTV) in Detecting Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of combined direct and indirect CT venography (combined CTV) in the detection of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT). The institutional review board approved the study protocol, and patients or qualifying family members provided informed consent. A total of 96 consecutive patients undergoing combined CTV were prospectively enrolled. ...
