Isolated deep cerebral venous thrombosis treated by direct endovascular thrombolysis.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Isolated thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system is very rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. Antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency is a disorder of hypercoagulability associated with deep venous thrombosis and recurrent pulmonary emboli. We report a case of an 18-year-old man who presented with spontaneous thrombosis of the deep cerebral veins and straight dural sinus as the initial presentation of a previously undiagnosed AT III deficiency. METHODS The patient was managed using direct endovascular infusion of the fibrinolytic agent urokinase followed by intravenous heparin. RESULTS The technique was successful in establishing patency of the deep cerebral venous system. The patient experienced a good clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS Direct endovascular thrombolysis is a potentially effective management strategy for isolated thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system.

Endovascular thrombolysis in deep cerebral venous thrombosis.
We present two cases of acute thrombosis of the internal cerebral veins, vein of Galen, and straight sinus without sagittal sinus involvement. Both patients had hydrocephalus and severe edema of the basal ganglia and thalami, one with hemorrhagic infarction of the thalamus. Because both patients rapidly deteriorated to a comatose state, endovascular thrombolysis was performed with urokinase inf...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of ultrasonography (US)-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis for the treatment of deep venous thrombosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 patients with deep venous thrombosis were prospectively selected for thrombolysis. Overall, 80.8% of the occlusions were in the lower extremities, and 19.2% were in the upper extremities. U...

OBJECTIVES We reviewed our strategies during the last decade for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the upper extremity due to thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) andthe lower extremity. METHODS Between 1998 and 2011, we treated 31 patients with 18 subclavian DVTs and 13 iliac DVTs. Management included catheter-directed thrombolysis compared to mechanical thrombolysis (MT; post 2006). Prior to 2006, pa...

Patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities have an increased risk of pulmonary emboli and post-thrombotic syndrome. Traditionally, they are treated medicinally, with anticoagulation therapy. Currently, endovascular therapies, with their higher efficiency, have replaced previously attempted systemic fibrinolytic therapies. There is a continuing controversy in the tempora...
