BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis is a known serious complication of surgical procedures and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Plastic surgeons' management of the risk of deep vein thrombosis and current information regarding deep vein thrombosis incidence rates are limited. A survey was designed and mailed to plastic surgeons to collect data on the patterns of practice with regard ...

BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis is a common, important complication of major orthopedic surgery, particularly knee arthroplasty. Knee arthroscopy is performed more frequently and in younger patients than knee arthroplasty. However, the true risk of deep vein thrombosis in patients who undergo this procedure is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of deep vein thrombosis after knee ar...

External jugular vein thrombosis is a rare vascular event which may lead fatal complication such as sepsis and pulmonary embolism. Its relation to the visceral solid tumor as an etiologic factor has been established well. Although external jugular vein thrombosis may be seen in malignancy, it is unusual to see as a sign of breast cancer. Most of the external jugular vein thrombosis occurs secon...

Renal vein thrombosis has been divided into four main groups (Harrison, Milne, and Steiner, 1956): it may be secondary to thrombosis or obstruction of the inferior vena cava; it may occur as a primary renal vein thrombosis; or it may complicate renal disease. Many renal diseases have been associated with renal vein thrombosis, including renal amyloidosis, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and...

Deep vein thrombosis is one of the common complications of orthopedic surgery. Studies indicated that genetic factors played a considerable role in the pathogenesis of deep vein thrombosis. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase which encoded by nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3), can generate nitric oxide in endothelial cells. As a predominant regulator for vascular homeostasis, nitric oxide might be i...

Cerebral venous system can be divided into a superficial and a deep system. The superficial system comprises of sagittal sinuses and cortical veins and these drain superficial surfaces of both cerebral hemispheres. The deep system comprises of lateral sinus, straight sinus and sigmoid sinus along with draining deeper cortical veins. Both these systems mostly drain themselves into internal jugul...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition that can present with headache, focal deficits, seizures, altered mental status, and papilledema. Nontraumatic dural sinus thrombosis is associated with medical conditions such as oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, dehydration, coagulopathies, connective tissue disorders, and leukemia. Traumatic dural sinus thrombo...

Introduction. Primary venous tumours are a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis. The authors present a case where the definitive diagnosis was delayed by inconclusive complementary imaging. Clinical Case. A thirty-seven-year-old female presented with an iliofemoral venous thrombosis of the right lower limb. The patient had presented with an episode of femoral-popliteal vein thrombosis five months...
