Venous thromboembolism produces chronic sequelae in the legs and occasional immediate mortality due to pulmonary embolism. Because it occurs in certain high risk situations (for example, after surgery) its prevention is a practical proposition. This has been attempted using many different approaches. Administration of low dose heparin with or without dihydroergotamine to enhance venous return h...

Poplitealvenous aneurysms (PVA) are associated with deep venous thrombosis and recurrentpulmonary thromboembolism (PE). We report three cases of PVA. In all three patients the first sign of PVA was acute PE; in one case, the PE was recurrent. Computed tomography and duplex ultrasonography revealed not only PE but also popliteal venous dilatation with thrombus. Surgical reconstruction was perfor...

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications As an adjunct to oral anti-coagulation for prophylaxis of thromboembolism associated with prosthetic heart valves. In combination with aspirin for: a. Prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis as an alternative to subcutaneous heparin, other than in hip surgery. b. Prophylaxis of recurrent venous thrombosis resistant to oral anticoagulation. c. Pro...

The burden of thrombotic diseases is heavy on the world population. It is widely known that coronary artery disease is amajor cause of death but many laymen do not know that the mortality is mediated by thrombosis on a ruptured plaque. It is also lesswell-known that stroke is commonly the result of a thrombus that might have embolized from the heart or the carotid artery or was sometimes genera...

introduction: oral contraceptives (ocs) are considered as one of the most common risk factor of venous thromboembolism (vte) in child bearing age. some of the recent researches indicate that the odds of vte may be even higher with newer generations of ocs. the present meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the effect of different generation of ocs on the occurrence of vte. methods: two research...

OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of venous thromboembolism in women using hormone replacement therapy by study design, characteristics of the therapy and venous thromboembolism, and clinical background. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES Medline. STUDIES REVIEWED Eight observational studies and nine randomised controlled trials. INCLUSION CRITERIA Studies on hormone re...

Venous aneurysms often present as painful masses. They can present either in the deep or superficial venous system. Deep venous system aneurysms have a greater risk of thromboembolism. Though rare, there have been case reports of superficial aneurysms and thrombus causing significant morbidity such as pulmonary embolism. We present a case of an anomalous greater saphenous vein connection with a...

abstract:acute venous thromboembolism (vte) is a common disease associated with the significant morbidity and mortality. we reviewed clinical outcomes systematically with dabigatran as a direct oral anticoagulants (doac) for treatment of acute vte. we used ovide, pubmed, cochrane (central), embase, scopus, science direct, lilac(for article written not english) and also iranian database; magiran...

Insertion of central venous port (CVP) catheter in the cancer population is associated with increased incidence of venous thromboembolic events (VTE). However, trials have shown limited benefit of antithrombotic treatment to prevent catheter-related venous thrombosis. This prospective observational cohort study was designed to assess the incidence of VTE closely related to CVP implantation in p...

BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of antithrombotic treatment in patients with superficial vein thrombosis remain to be established in adequately designed trials. METHODS In a double-blind trial, 427 patients older than 18 years, with documented acute symptomatic superficial vein thrombosis of the legs, were randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous enoxaparin sodium, 40 mg; subcutaneous eno...
