PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence, factors, and effects of antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents on sub-acute and chronic ischemic stroke patients during the rehabilitation phase for rates of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) from the perspective for rehabilitation medicine. METHODS In this study of 272 patients undergoing rehabilitation for completed cerebral infarcti...

BACKGROUND The reason some patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) develop the postthrombotic syndrome is not well understood. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, time course, and predictors of the postthrombotic syndrome after acute DVT. DESIGN Prospective, multicenter cohort study. SETTING 8 Canadian hospital centers. PATIENTS 387 outpatients and inpatients who received an object...

Anticoagulation is the main therapy for acute deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) of the limbs. Over the last five decades there has been little progress in the development of oral anticoagulant therapies. However, recently this area has been experiencing a rapidly changing situation thanks to the development of orally active small molecules that directly target either thrombin or activated factor X. Th...

Popliteal artery aneurysms are often incorrectly diagnosed and subsequently mismanaged with resultant preventable complications. We present a case of a swollen lower extremity clinically resembling a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), following tibial fracture fixation. It was treated as a DVT on the basis of ultrasound imaging at a different hospital. Subsequent imaging showed a popliteal artery pseu...

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) consists of two related conditions: pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Objective testing for VTE is crucial because the clinical diagnosis is nonspecific and insensitive, and the consequences of a missed diagnosis are serious. The purpose of this review is to discuss the utility of venous ultrasonography as the foundation for diagnosis of acute ...

AbstractBackground and aim: The present study aimed to compare the short term outcome of thromboembolic events affecting peripheral vascular system in patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection without this infection. Patients methods: included 177 covid-19 events. They comprised 62 acute lower limb ischemia, 69 DVT, 21 thrombosed access 25 occluded bypass graft. For comparison, we selected a...

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a potentially disabling complication occurring in up to 67% of adult patients following deep venous thrombosis (DVT). PTS has recently been recognised in children. We present three cases of symptomatic PTS in children, which occurred following the use of central venous lines (CVLs). In two cases, no symptoms of acute thrombosis were noted. The cases highlight t...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and safety of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) pulmonary angiography and indirect venography management of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), including indication for inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-one consecutive patients who were clinically suspected of PE and underwent 16-slice MDCT pu...

Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that reduces quality of life and has important socioeconomic consequences. More than one-third of patients with DVT will develop PTS, and 5% to 10% of patients will develop severe PTS, which may manifest as venous ulceration. The principal risk factors forPTSarepersistent legsymptoms1month after the acute ep...
