Venous Occlusive Disease

چکیده
Our understanding of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has greatly increased in recent years due primarily to improved radiographic methods of diagnosis (1,2). Prior to the advent of modern neuroimaging, estimates of the incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) relied largely on autopsy series (3,4). More recent studies that employ radiographic techniques have demonstrated a higher incidence of this disorder than previously appreciated and have led to a greater awareness of cases at the milder end of the spectrum (5–11a). Despite these advances in recognition, the diagnosis of CVT remains challenging due to its wide range of clinical expression and some aspects of treatment remain controversial.

متن کاملUsefulness of hyperemic venous return angiography for studying coronary venous anatomy prior to cardiac resynchronization device implantation.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Implantation of electrodes via the coronary sinus (CS) can be very challenging because access to the target vessel is restricted by anatomical obstacles. Consequently, prior knowledge of coronary venous anatomy is crucial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of hyperemic venous return angiography relative to that of occlusive retrograde venogra...
متن کاملVenous sinus occlusive disease: MR findings.
PURPOSE To study MR patterns of venous sinus occlusive disease and to relate them to the underlying pathophysiology by comparing the appearance and pathophysiologic features of venous sinus occlusive disease with those of arterial ischemic disease. METHODS The clinical data and MR examinations of 26 patients with venous sinus occlusive disease were retrospectively reviewed with special attent...
متن کاملSuperior vena cava thrombosis causing respiratory obstruction successfully resolved by stenting in a small bowel transplant candidate.
A 4 year old child was referred for small bowel transplantation. He had superior vena cava obstruction secondary to numerous central venous line placements; alternative routes for long term central venous access were compromised by extensive venous occlusive disease. Patency for the superior vena cava was re-established with stenting, which allowed for radiological placement of another central ...

Venous occlusive disease encompasses a variety of clinical entities that range the spectrum from being catastrophic and life threatening, such as massive pulmonary embolism, to disease states that may have an occult presentation, such as inferior vena cava occlusion. Other examples of veno-occlusive disease states include deep venous thrombosis and right atrial masses. When venous occlusion is ...
