We report the incidence and location of deep-vein thrombosis in 312 patients who had sustained high-energy, skeletal trauma. They were investigated using magnetic resonance venography and Duplex ultrasound. Despite thromboprophylaxis, 36 (11.5%) developed venous thromboembolic disease with an incidence of 10% in those with non-pelvic trauma and 12.2% in the group with pelvic trauma. Of patients...

PURPOSE To document the incidence of proximal deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in 58 consecutive Japanese patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Patients were routinely examined for proximal deep vein thrombosis by B-mode ultrasonography before and after surgery. Those patients who had ultrasonographic findings of deep vein thrombosis were al...

HCC has a high propensity to invade into the portal vein by direct venous extension or metastasis, which may cause tumor thrombosis that occurs in up to 70% of patients. It is well recognized that Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis (PVTT) is a major detrimental prognosticator in HCC and almost all staging or prognostic systems for HCC include PVTT as an important parameter. Herein, we reported an int...

Background: Brucellosis can involve almost any organ system and may present with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. In this study we present a case of deep vein thrombosis due to human brucellosis. Case Presentation: A 15 year old boy presented acute pain and swelling in his left thigh. When admitted to the hospital in june 2011, he complained of fever, chills and lowers extremity pai...

Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is a well-recognised major health problem in the West. There is a deep-rooted belief among clinicians that deep vein thrombosis is rare in Asians, particularly in the Chinese population. However, it appears that the incidence of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is increasing in Chinese patients. Prophylaxis reduces the incidence of venous thro...

Although there is no other underlying disease, women can sometimes experience rare and serious diseases such as ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) and renal vein thrombosis (RVT) after giving birth. The widespread development of thrombosis is treated for the first time in this study. Stasis, coagulation factor abnormalities, and intimal damage to the venous thrombosis risk can increase during pregna...

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the clinical features of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Splanchnic vein thrombosis is a significant source of complications in candidates for liver transplantation. The aims of this study were: (a) to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for splanchnic vein thrombosis in cirrhotic patients awaiting transplantation and (b) to assess the usefulness of anticoagulation. METHODS A total of 251 cirrhotic patients listed for t...
