Effect of anticoagulants on recanalisation.

THE use of anticoagulant drugs in the therapy or prevention of thromboembolic conditions has been advocated because such drugs are known to prevent or lessen intravascular thrombosis and extension of a thrombosis. Wright, Kubik and Haydenhave shown, moreover, that ethyl biscoumacetate (Tromexan) promotes recanalisation of a vein or artery occluded by a thrombus. In order to test their findings ...

Recanalisation of cerebral venous thrombosis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate recanalisation in the first 12 months after cerebral venous thrombosis. METHODS 33 consecutive patients presenting with cerebral venous thrombosis were enrolled in the study. Diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) or catheter angiography. Patients were initially treated with intravenous heparin. Warfarin was give...

Retrograde recanalisation of popliteal artery occlusion.

The increasing prevalence of critical lower limb ischemia is frequently associated with complex tibioperoneal obstructive disease and a high rate of amputation. In this article, we report our recent experience in order to highlight this valuable and underutilised technique, which proved successful in a complicated case where a conventional approach failed.

Endoscopic laser recanalisation of presaccal canalicular obstruction.

AIM To document the results of erbium (Er)-YAG laser treatment in presaccal canalicular obstruction in combination with the use of a flexible endoscope. METHODS For the first time an Er-YAG laser (Schwind, Sklerostom) was attached to a flexible endoscope (Schwind, Endognost) and used to recanalise a stenosis of the upper, lower, or common canaliculus. In 17 patients (mean age 41.5 (SD 11.9) y...
