The cornerstones of current management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are the routine use of anticoagulant therapy, graduated elastic compression stockings, and early ambulation. Thrombolytic therapy was previously reserved only for patients with life-, limb-, or organ-threatening complications. However, the postthrombotic syndrome has been increasingly recognized as a frequent and serious long-...

A 34-year-old female from Laos presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of worsening abdominal pain; she subsequently developed an acute abdomen requiring emergent exploratory laparotomy. An intraoperative angiography was performed, which revealed complete portal vein thrombosis. A 5F 20-cm infusion catheter was placed through an omental vein, and tissue plasminogen activator...

Arterial and venous thromboembolic events, including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism are common potentially life-, organ-, and limb-threatening vascular diseases. Anticoagulant therapy is recommended in these settings to prevent further thrombosis pending gradual clearance of the thrombotic occlusion by the e...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate whether quantitation of thrombus burden with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can help risk-stratify patients undergoing thrombolysis of prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT). BACKGROUND Thrombolytic therapy of PVT has an unpredictable risk of embolization and complications. METHODS An international registry of patients with suspected PVT ...

Amputations are common after severe frostbite injuries, often mediated by postinjury arterial thrombosis. Since 1994, the authors have performed angiography to identify perfusion deficits in severely frostbitten digits and treated these lesions with intraarterial infusion of thrombolytic agents, usually combined with papaverine to reduce vasospasm. A retrospective review was performed of patien...
