Background: Patients with cancer who undergo surgery about the hip are at increased risk for the development of deep vein thrombosis. We implemented a program of chemical and mechanical prophylaxis to prevent this problem. This study was performed to assess the effectiveness of that program. Methods: Eighty-seven consecutive patients with an active malignant tumor who underwent hip replacement surgery at our institution over a two-year period were included in the study. All patients were treated with intermittent pneumatic compression devices. Seventy-eight patients received anticoagulants, and nine did not. Postoperative surveillance for proximal deep vein thrombosis was routinely performed on all patients with duplex Doppler ultrasonography. Results: Four patients had proximal deep vein thrombosis, and one patient, who did not receive anticoagulation, had a nonfatal pulmonary embolism. The use of prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin (dalteparin) was associated with a 4% rate of proximal ...

Critically III patients have multiple risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The majority of patients with pulmonary embolism have a lower extremity deep vein thrombosis as a source of origin. Pulmonary embolism causes a high mortality rate in the hemodynamically compromised individual. Awareness of risk factors relative to the development of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is important for the critical care nurse. Understanding the pathophysiology can help guide prophylaxis and treatment plans. The therapies, from invasive to mechanical, all carry risks and benefits, and are weighed for each patient. The advanced practice nurse, whether in the direct or indirect role, has an opportunity to impact the care of the high risk patient. Options range from teaching the nurse who is new to critical care, to teaching patients and families. Development of multidisciplinary protocols and clinical pathways are ways to impact the standard of care. Improved delivery of care ...

BACKGROUND:. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism most often occur during hospitalization for surgery or chronic medical conditions. Consequently information on deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism is derived from large referral hospitals, and there are substantial gaps in our understanding of the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism in the community. This was one of the first studies to compare hospital acquired deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism with deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism among ambulatory residents in a community.. DESIGN NARRATIVE:. The five part study: 1. identified the incidence cohort and tested the hypotheses that over the 25 year study period the incidence of deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism had decreased, the extent of testing for suspected deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism had increased, and the number of tests obtained for patients with deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism had ...

Although thrombosis complication is rare after arthroscopic meniscus surgery, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism can be fatal. The associated risk factors and whether anticoagulant prevention after arthroscopic knee surgery is necessary have not reach consensus. Here we present a case of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after a common arthroscopic meniscectomy. The patient had no risk factors except ipsilateral leg varicose veins. She present swell at knee and calf from postoperative 3 weeks, and developed dyspnea, palpitation, and nausea on 33th day, pulmonary embolism was confirmed with CT angiography at emergency department. After thrombolysis and anticoagulation therapy were administered, the patient improved well and discharged. And the intravenous ultrasound confirmed thrombosis of popliteal vein and small saphenous vein. Who dont have common risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Despite the low incidence of thromboembolic complications after simple arthroscopy surgery, its

Though home treatment is an option in some cases, most patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis will require hospitalization, as most will have additional risk factors that will require more monitoring than home care can provide. Deep vein thrombosis is typically treated by breaking down the clot with thrombolytic agents. Patients are then given anticoagulants to prevent the formation of new clots and pulmonary embolism. For patients that cannot undergo anticoagulant treatment, an inferior vena cava filter can also be used to reduce the occurrence of pulmonary embolism. However, this treatment is viewed only as a temporary measure to prevent the more life threatening pulmonary embolism. For medical and surgical inpatients, prevention is key and most hospitals will use a combination of anticoagulants, thromboembolic deterrent stockings, and intermittent pneumatic compression devices to prevent deep vein thrombosis from occurring. For travelers, as well as those patients susceptible to deep ...

IMPORTANCE: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) isolated to the calf veins (distal to the popliteal vein) is frequently detected with duplex ultrasonography and may result in proximal thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (PE).. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether therapeutic anticoagulation is associated with a decreased risk for proximal DVT or PE after diagnosis of an isolated calf DVT.. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: All adult patients with ultrasonographic detection of an isolated calf DVT from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2013, at the Vascular Laboratory of the University of California, Davis, Medical Center were included. Patients already receiving therapeutic anticoagulation and those with a chronic calf DVT, a contraindication to anticoagulation, prior venous thromboembolism within 180 days, or diagnosis of a PE suspected at the time of calf DVT diagnosis were excluded. Data were analyzed from August 18, 2015, to February 14, 2016.. EXPOSURES: Intention to administer therapeutic ...

Background. Patients with cancer and a first deep venous thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism (venous thromboembolism, VTE) are generally treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)injections for 6 months, since this treatment is associated with a reduced incidence of recurrent VTE compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA). It is recommended that patients with active malignancy (metastatic cancer and/or ongoing cancer treatment)continue anticoagulant treatment. However, it is unknown whether LMWH is still superior compared to VKA for the long-term anticoagulant treatment.. Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether low-molecular-weight heparin more effectively reduces recurrent VTE compared to vitamin K antagonists in patients with cancer who have already completed 6 to 12 months of anticoagulant treatment because of deep venous thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism.. Hypothesis. The investigators hypothesize that LMWH is more effective compared to VKA in the long-term ...

Upon transfer to the university hospital, the patient was continued on intravenous heparin. The patients condition improved initially but was later complicated by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, which required the use of low molecular weight heparin. The patients condition further worsened with impairment of vision requiring lumboperitoneal shunt and stopping of anticoagulation treatment. Anticoagulation treatment was subsequently restarted, but Mr A developed cerebellar hemorrhage, which resulted in his demise.. Our patient lacked peculiar demographics of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Also, initial negative noncontrast CT scan was not sufficient and is often misleading in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis. We document a rare case of cerebral venous thrombosis in a 77-year-old man with initial normal noncontrast brain CT. Although rare, cerebral venous thrombosis can present in an elderly man with recent history of otitis media and with negative brain CT. This ...

Sheila, I am sorry to hear of your husbands condition. I had portal vein thrombosis following a resection for HCC, it was approximately 15cm in size. I was treated with Warafin (which is a blood thinner) to breakup the thrombosis and that worked just fine. I am a little confused as to why they cant treat the thrombosis. Do you have the information on the location of the HCC lesion and its size? I have survived 2 rounds with HCC in the last 5 years; I had hep-c (contracted during the Vietnam war) which I went through treatment for and now am undetectable, advanced stage of Cirrhosis, then HCC with 2 tumors first time treated with liver resection, then the Portal Vein Thrombosis, and then 1 tumor a 2nd time treated with a RFA procedure. I receive MRIs now every 6 months to help with early detection of another recurrence. I am 62 years of age. I would suggest seeking out a Comprehensive Cancer treatment center ( I go to the University of Michigan Hospital) and to obtain a 2nd opinion. Keep the ...

The prevalence of deep venous thrombosis in patients with advanced cancer is unconfirmed and it is unknown whether current international thromboprophylaxis guidance is applicable to this population. We aimed to determine prevalence and predictors of femoral deep vein thrombosis in patients admitted to specialist palliative care units (SPCUs). We did this prospective longitudinal observational study in five SPCUs in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (four hospices and one palliative care unit). Consecutive adults with cancer underwent bilateral femoral vein ultrasonography on admission and weekly until death or discharge for a maximum of 3 weeks. Data were collected on performance status, attributable symptoms, and variables known to be associated with venous thromboembolism. Patients with a short estimated prognosis (,5 days) were ineligible. The primary endpoint of the study was the prevalence of femoral deep vein thrombosis within 48 h of SPCU admission, analysed by intention to treat. This ...

The optimal duration of anticoagulation after recurrent venous thromboembolism(VTE) is poorly established [1,2]. Recent studies suggested that D-dimer may identify patients at low risk of recurrence after a first VTE [3,4]. In a pilot, prospective, cohort study we aimed to assess the negative predictive value of D-dimer in patients with recurrent VTE. Patients with negative D-dimer while on treatment stopped anti coagulation and underwent repeated testing after 7, 15, and 30 days; treatment was resumed if D-dimer turned positive and permanently stopped if it remained negative. The study was interrupted after the enrolment of 75 patients. At that time, treating physicians decided treatment resumption in 12.2% of the patients, but the majority of events were distal or superficial vein thromboses. The rate of objectively documented recurrent proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) was 2.56% (95% CI 0.13, 15.07%) in the 39 patients with persistently negative D-di

Some of the main factors associated with cerebral venous thrombosis include oral contraceptives, pregnancy, cancer, head trauma and obesity. Symptoms include severe headaches, blurred vision and nausea. Rarely, CVT can lead to brain swelling and bleeding and, when most severe, stroke and permanent brain damage.. Our study found that the number of cases of cerebral venous thrombosis in the United States is three times higher than previously reported, and who is being diagnosed with the condition is changing, said study author Fadar Oliver Otite, M.D., Sc.M., of the SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y. and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. CVT is most common in younger women and the higher incidence in this group has been attributed, in part, to the use of birth control pills and pregnancy. However, our new analysis did not find an increase in this population over time, but rather showed increases in men and older women.. For the study, researchers reviewed hospital ...

What is deep vein thrombosis? Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, usually in the legs. Clots can form in superficial veins and in deep veins. Blood clots with inflammation in superficial veins (called superficial thrombophlebitis or phlebitis) rarely cause serious problems. But clots...

The conical shape allows central filling of emboli while allowing blood on the periphery to flow freely.With the adoption of outpatient therapy for proximal DVT, the initial management of DVT increasingly becomes the responsibility of the emergency physician.This was not significantly different than historical controls.The larger fragments exert their anticoagulant effect by interacting with antithrombin III (ATIII) to inhibit thrombin.Management of massive and submassive pulmonary embolism, iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a scientific statement from the American Heart Association.A systematic review by Kahn et al found that in patients with acute DVT, early walking exercise is safe and may help to reduce acute symptoms and that in patients with previous DVT, exercise training does not increase leg symptoms acutely and may help to prevent or improve the postthrombotic syndrome.Additionally, it was approved to reduce the risk of DVT and PE ...

Objective: To summarize the currently published scientific evidence for the venous flow effects of mechanical devices, particularly intermittent pneumatic compression, and the relation to prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Summary Background Data: While intermittent pneumatic compression is an established method of DVT prophylaxis, the variety of systems that are available can use very different compression techniques and sequences. In order for appropriate choices to be made to provide the optimum protection for patients, the general performance of systems, and physiological effects of particular properties, must be analyzed objectively. Methods: Medline was searched from 1970 to 2002, and all relevant papers were searched for further appropriate references. Papers were selected for inclusion when they addressed specifically the questions posed in this review. Results: All the major types of intermittent compression systems are successful in emptying deep veins of the lower limb and ...

This study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of color Doppler imaging in the diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis. Two hundred fifteen patients were studied with color Doppler imaging to determine patency of the main portal vein. Sonographic findings were confirmed in 75 patients, aged 19 to 66 years. Correlation with angiography was obtained in 13 patients, and surgical correlation was obtained in the remaining 62. Nine patients had portal vein thrombosis on the basis of these gold standards. Sonograms were classified as showing either patency or thrombosis, depending on the ability to show color flow within the main portal vein. Agreement between sonography and angiography or surgery was found in 69 patients (61 patent, eight thrombosed). One patient with a patent portal vein at sonography was found to have a thrombosed vessel at surgery, whereas five patients without portal venous flow at sonography had patent vessels at angiography (one patient) or surgery (four patients). Overall ...

What is factor V Leiden? The most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis is factor V Leiden, present in 5 percent of the general population. Factor V is one of the normal blood clotting factors. Factor V Leiden is a changed or mutated form of factor V that is inactivated 10 times slower than the normal factor V. This causes it to persist longer in the circulation, resulting in a hypercoagulable state. In other words, the blood continues clotting, resulting in possible obstruction.. One copy of the factor V Leiden gene increases the risk for venous thrombosis 4 to 8 times, while two copies of the gene increase the risk 80-fold.. Other coexisting coagulation defects can occur with factor V Leiden, and in general, the risk for thrombosis increases in patients with more than one genetic defect.. The factor V Leiden mutation is involved in 20 to 40 percent of venous thrombosis cases and is suspected in individuals who have a medical history of venous thrombosis or in families with a high ...

Patients with a significant bleeding history and normal routine laboratory tests are labelled as having unclassified bleeding disorder (UBD). Approximately one third of patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) have no risk factor identified and are labelled idiopathic. The experiments conducted herein investigate whether the phospholipid composition of the platelet membrane is contributory to the clinical phenotype. The ability of platelets and microvesicles to support thrombin generation was investigated using a thrombin generation assay tailored to be sensitive to the phospholipid membrane. Peak thrombin generation supported by washed platelets and microvesicles was reduced in UBD patients compared with healthy controls. Peak thrombin and velocity index were increased in patients with DVT. To determine whether changes in thrombin generation could be attributed to native aminophospholipids in the platelet membrane, Phosphatidylserine (PS) and Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were measured by ...

Quick, what is the the fifth leading cause of death in the United States? Heart problems? Liver failure? Cancer? You probably wont believe me when I tell you it is flying in airplanes. Deep Vein Thrombosis in air travelers is far more frequent than most of us know. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a dangerous condition where lack of movement can cause clots to form in the veins of the legs. If the clot breaks off and travels to the heart or lungs, it is often lethal. In 2001 The Lancet published an analysis estimating that 1 million cases of DVT related to air travel occur in the US every year and that 100,000 of these cases result in death (Lancet, September 8, 2001, p. 838).. According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, the risk increases with distance traveled. LINK The risk can be sharply reduced on long haul flights by wearing compression stockings. However many people wear them incorrectly LINK. It seems the thigh-high stockings may be more uncomfortable than the ...

This chart describes and beautifully illustrates how a thrombus (blood clot) forms, vascular circulation and pulmonary embolism. Supporting text defines deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and covers causes, consequences and main risk factors. Symptoms, complications and treatment options of DVT and pulmonary embolism are also discussed.

This 3D medical animation depicting Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT or Deep Venous Thrombosis) begins by showing a blood clot forming in a lower leg vein. As red blood cells flow through the vein, slower moving cells and other blood elements accumulate on the venous valves, creating a stationary blood clot, or thrombus, blocking the blood flow in the vein. When the thrombus breaks free of the valve leaflet, it is then called an embolus, and travels toward the heart and lungs. The last section of the animation shows the embolus lodging in the lung tissue to form a potentially life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

People who don't wear graduated compression stockings when they fly are more than 12 times more likely to develop Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) than those who do, according to a research review.

Background: The role of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in treatment of acute proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is controversial and national rates of in-hospital mortality and acute complications in these patients are unknown.. Methods: We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2005 to 2009 to identify all patients admitted with a principal diagnosis of proximal or caval DVT. In these patients, we evaluated the trends in the utilization rates of CDT and in-hospital outcomes. We compared in-hospital outcomes between the matched groups treated with CDT plus anticoagulation (Group A - 10,730 patients) versus anticoagulation alone (Group B - 10,730). We used propensity scores and Elixhauser comorbidity risk index to match the two treatment groups.. Results: Among a total of 368,974 patients admitted with lower extremity proximal or caval DVT, 3.7% (13,542) underwent CDT. The national CDT utilization rates gradually increased from 2.3% in 2005 to 5.1% in 2009. The groups ...

Sadly the answer is YES. As a Nuvaring Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis attorney, I have written extensively about the inherent risks associated - July 18, 2012 - Can You Die From Nuvaring Deep Vein Thrombosis?

There are a number of factors that increase a persons risk of developing a deep vein thrombosis.. If a person is found to have a DVT and there is no known medical condition or recent surgery that could have caused the DVT, it is possible that an inherited condition is the cause. This is especially true in people with a family member who has also experienced a DVT or pulmonary embolism. In these cases, testing for an inherited thrombophilia may be recommended. However, finding an inherited thrombophilia does not change the way that doctors treat the venous thromboembolism, and may not increase the chance of the blood clot coming back.. Medical conditions or medications - Some medical conditions and medications increase a persons risk of developing a blood clot:. ●Pregnancy. ●Obesity. ●Smoking. ●Heart failure. ●Previous DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE). ●Increased age. ●Cancer - Some cancers increase substances in the blood that cause blood to clot.. ●Kidney problems, such as ...

Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis is a medical emergency associated with pulmonary embolism, severe postthrombotic morbidity and increased rates of recurrence. We present 3 cases of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis managed in a setting of limited resources. Results of 2-D Ultrasound scan which suggested proximal DVT was confirmed by Doppler ultrasound scan. Patients were all managed by systemic anticoagulation alone. In experienced hands, it is possible to diagnose iliofemoral DVT with 2-D Ultrasound scan and treatment with systemic anticoagulation alone still has a role. However recent studies have proved clearly the superiority of thrombectomy over systemic anticoagulation alone. There is a need to improve the infrastructure and expertise of clinicians managing these conditions in underdeveloped settings to enable them offer the best to their patients.

Additional ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis does not lower the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with acute iliofemoral DVT

Hospital patients are at increased risk of DVT, and up to 1% of all hospital deaths are a result of its acute complication, PE.1 Patients who have had DVT have considerable long term morbidity (eg, post-thrombotic syndrome, which is associated with the development of venous leg ulcers). Prevention of DVT is now receiving considerable attention through consensus statements and national guidelines.2 These advocate the use of graduated compression stockings alone for prevention of DVT in people at moderate risk and with pharmacological methods in people at high risk.2. The meta-analysis by Amarigiri and Lees suggests that graduated compression stockings alone and in combination with other forms of prophylaxis effectively prevent DVT in moderate and high risk hospital patients (grading of risk was done by the reviewers). As such, the findings of this review are entirely in line with current guidelines.2 The authors highlight the need for further study of at risk medical patients as only 1 study in ...

PURPOSE Home-LITE compared long-term treatment at home with tinzaparin or usual care in terms of efficacy, safety, patients treatment satisfaction, incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome, and associated venous leg ulcers. METHODS This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial enrolled 480 patients with documented, acute, proximal deep vein thrombosis. Patients received tinzaparin 175 IU/kg subcutaneously once daily for 12 weeks, or tinzaparin for |or=5 days plus oral warfarin, commenced on day 1, international normalized ratio-adjusted, and continued for |or=12 weeks (usual care). Patients received 1 in-clinic injection, then home treatment. RESULTS The rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism at 12 weeks was 3.3% in both groups (absolute difference 0%; 95% confidence interval -3.2-3.2), and at 1 year was 10.4%/8.3% in the tinzaparin/usual-care groups, respectively (difference 2.1%; 95% confidence interval -3.1-7.3). There were no between-group differences in deaths at 12 weeks or 1 year, or

TY - JOUR. T1 - Routine pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in frail older hospitalised patients: where is the evidence?. AU - Greig, Matthew. AU - Rochow, Stuart. AU - Crilly, Michael. AU - Mangoni, Arduino. PY - 2013/7. Y1 - 2013/7. N2 - It has been claimed that there are over 25,000 preventable in-hospital deaths from venous thromboembolism annually in the UK. NICE and SIGN guidelines therefore recommend that all hospitalised patients are risk assessed for venous thromboembolism. The guidelineswould recommend using pharmacological thromboprophylaxis for all patients aged 60 and above with reduced mobility and acute medical illness unless obvious contra-indications exist. Meta-analysis data regarding pharmacological thromboprophylaxis for medical patients demonstrate reductions in asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) rather than fatal pulmonary embolism and mortality. There is also the potential for increased bleeding risk with this approach. Evidence for older medical ...

September 15, 2015-A study of risk factors associated with symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs treated by catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) without inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement was conducted. F.H. Li, MD, et al published the findings online ahead of print in the European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery (EJVES).. The investigators found that the risk of developing symptomatic PE is most markedly increased in patients with previous silent PE and heart disease; therefore, they concluded that selective (rather than routine) IVC filter placement is an appropriate approach.. As summarized in EJVES, the investigators studied 266 patients with acute/subacute iliofemoral, iliofemoropopliteal, and femoropopliteal thrombosis confirmed by computed tomography venography or ultrasound Doppler. All patients were treated with CDT, with computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CPTA) examination performed in all patients ...

AU - Siegelman, Evan S.. AU - Kochman, Michael L.. PY - 1998/1/1. Y1 - 1998/1/1. N2 - We report splenic vein thrombosis diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) after the failure of extracorporeal ultrasound and contrast enhanced computed tomography to establish the diagnosis in a patient with gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Subsequent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed findings of retroperitoneal fibrosis and confirmed the EUS findings. Splenic vein thrombosis is a well-known cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and splenomegaly; pancreatitis and pancreatic tumors are its most common underlying causes. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography are frequently used to diagnose splenic vein thrombosis. We discuss the use of EUS for diagnosis of vascular anomalies in the gastrointestinal tract ...

AU - Nealon, William H.. AU - Nakeeb, Attila. AU - Rikkers, Layton F.. PY - 2004/6/1. Y1 - 2004/6/1. N2 - Objective: To determine the natural history of pancreatitis-induced splenic vein thrombosis with particular attention to the risk of gastric variceal hemorrhage. Summary Background Data: Previous studies have suggested that splenic vein thrombosis results in a high likelihood of gastric variceal bleeding and that splenectomy should be performed to prevent hemorrhage. Recent improvements in cross-sectional imaging have led to the identification of splenic vein thrombosis in patients with minimal symptoms. Our clinical experience suggested that gastric variceal bleeding in these patients was uncommon. Methods: A computerized index search from 1993 to 2002 for the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Office Management of Deep Venous Thrombosis in the Elderly. AU - Jacobs, Laurie G.. AU - Billett, Henny H.. PY - 2009/10. Y1 - 2009/10. N2 - Deep venous thrombosis is common in the elderly. Diagnosis and management are now a part of office practice. As signs and symptoms are inconsistent and nonspecific, diagnostic testing is necessary. For patients with a low clinical probability, a normal D-dimer result can rule out disease. For patients with a high clinical suspicion or an elevated D-dimer, duplex ultrasonography may confirm the diagnosis. Anticoagulation, usually with low-molecular-weight heparin, should begin on suspicion and continue, along with warfarin, until the international normalized ratio is therapeutic. Arrangements for the initial daily injections can be made with a visiting nurse. Treatment should continue for at least 3 months, when a risk-versus-benefit analysis for continuing anticoagulation should be undertaken. Therapy may be discontinued for thromboses ...

Congenital causes of venous thrombosis have gained increasing prominence with the description of the factor V Leiden mutation and the prothrombin gene mutation. More recently, the description of the association between increased levels of coagulation factors and venous thrombosis and the finding that patients with thrombophilia can harbor more than one prothrombotic state have further increased the clinical relevance of the congenital thrombophilic states. In this qualitative review, we summarize current knowledge of the congenital prothrombotic states and propose a simple classification system that divides the states into two broad groups: those associated with reduced levels of the inhibitors of the coagulation cascade and those associated with increased levels or function of the coagulation factors. The first group is less common than the second, but it is associated with a much higher risk for venous thrombosis. This review provides clinicians with an evidence-based, practical guide to the ...

Causes of Mesenteric venous thrombosis with diagnosis analysis, related symptoms, patient stories, full-text book chapters, alternative diagnoses, misdiagnosis, treatments, remedies, and much more.

Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is rare and primarily observed in children with severe dehydration or in adults in a hypercoagulable state. This diagnosis is rarely considered when it occurs in adults. We report a case of a young man who had weight loss of 8 kg in 2 weeks accompanied by dehydration with excessive exercise, and he developed a right RVT with a pulmonary thromboembolism. The man had a 3-year history of essential hypertension and was admitted to the hospital because of severe right-flank pain. A RVT and pulmonary thromboemboli were visualized by computed tomography. No abnormal results were observed on coagulation tests, and no evidence of malignancy was found. We concluded that the RVT and pulmonary thromboembolism were induced by dehydration. Even though the patient was an adult, rapid weight loss with dehydration may cause RVT and unusual thromboembolic events must be suspected to avoid a delay in the diagnosis ...

The matter of nutritional contribution to risk of developing a venous thromboembolic event has also been studied. The logic behind this assumption is in the fact that various fat and vitamin intakes may effect the levels of coagulation factors and homocysteine. A longitudinal, prospective study followed two cohorts and correlated the occurrence of venous thromboembolic disease with dietary intake of fruit, vegetables and fat. Consuming more vegetables and fruit and more fish conveyed protection against venous thromboembolism, as did consumption of folate and vitamin B6. On the other hand, a western pattern diet and consumption of red meat were associated with a higher prevalence of venous thromboembolism. It must be emphasized that folic acid administration did not reduce venous thromboembolism.. A clinical point worth stressing is that venous thromboembolism is often a consequence of two hits. This means that not all people with certain risk factors for developing venous thromboembolism go on ...

Introduction. Both authors have had patients develop a venous thrombotic event (VTE) after arthroscopic shoulder surgery in recent times. These events were serious and required emergency medical management. In the light of the seriousness of this complication it was decided to investigate our protocols regarding screening and intra-operative techniques. The literature was evaluated for guidelines. The review revealed only a few case reports with no author able to offer any real guidelines regarding possible intra-operative preventable measures. The rate of incidence is remarkably low and would explain the limited literature available. Our case detailed below had a favourable outcome with no long-term complications. This, however, is not always the case. Case report. Patient RM is a 73-year-old female patient who presented initially in August 2009 with right shoulder pain. Initial history revealed that she had been struggling with right shoulder pain for the previous few years but that it had ...

Venous thromboembolic disease is a leading cause of maternal mortality during pregnancy. Early and accurate radiological diagnosis is essential as anticoagulation is not without risk and clinical diagnosis is unreliable. Although the disorder is potentially treatable, unnecessary treatment should be avoided. Most of the diagnostic imaging techniques involve ionizing radiation which exposes both the mother and fetus to finite radiation risks. There is a relative lack of evidence in the literature to guide clinicians and radiologists on the most appropriate method of assessing this group of patients. This article will review the role of imaging of suspected venous thromboembolic disease in pregnant patients, highlight contentious issues such as radiation risk, intravenous contrast use in pregnancy and discuss the published guidelines, as well as suggesting an appropriate imaging algorithm based on the available evidence.

OBJECTIVES: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) may be complicated by upper extremity (UE) superficial (SVT) or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The purpose of this study was to determine current PICC insertion patterns and if any PICC or patient characteristics were associated with venous thrombotic complications.. METHODS: All UE venous duplex scans during a 12-month period were reviewed, selecting patients with isolated SVT or DVT and PICCs placed ≤30 days. All UE PICC procedures during the same period were identified from an electronic medical record query. PICC-associated DVTs, categorized by insertion site, were compared with all first-time UE PICCs to ...

Vein thromboses frequently have long-term consequences. Many patients suffer massive pain and swellings or post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) for years. In the last few years, catheter intervention offered by specially trained experts at Heidelberg University Hospital has provided some relief. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an acute disease that represents a frequent medical condition. Treatment comprises blood thinners (anti-coagulation) and compression therapy. With the aid of this treatment, complications, such as lung embolisms or the renewed occurrence of thrombosis, can be prevented very effectively. However, this treatment is not effective for preventing post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), which occurs in about 50% of the patients with DVT within two years and which is a major problem for those afflicted ...

People who have had hip or knee replacements ideally should postpone long haul travel for three months after surgery. If you have had this kind of surgery, talk to your family doctor, travel specialist, or a member of the surgical team. Some people at very high risk may be prescribed clot preventing medication such as low molecular weight heparin. Women who are pregnant, or have recently had a baby should seek advice from their antenatal team or health visitor. Those with moderately increased risk such as travellers aged over 40, overweight travellers, and women taking the pill or on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should follow the advice given below in the During the Trip section to help reduce the risk. They should also discuss the use of graduated compression stockings with their pharmacist. Graduated compression stockings are widely available from pharmacies and pharmacists can provide advice on use and fitting. There is good evidence that graduated compression stockings can be useful ...

Controversial reports exist on the incidence of DVT in burn patients. We report our experience over a 10-year period. Methods: Patients admitted to our Burn Unit over the period 1991-2001 and diagnosed with DVT were identified. Their records were retrospectively reviewed for demographic factors, extent and severity of burn injury and outcome. Results: A total of 4102 patients were admitted to the WPH Burn unit during the study period. All patients received routine subcutaneous heparin prophylaxis. Ten patients were diagnosed with DVT (0.25%). Compared to our total burn population, these patients were older (mean age 47±22.7 years versus 35±22 years P=0.14) and had ...

Köksoy told ESVS delegates that, in terms of early clot removal, each modality has its advantages and disadvantages. He added, Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy refers to catheter-directed administration of a fibrinolytic drug directly into the venous thrombus with concomitant use of catheter-based devices to macerate the thrombus and speed thrombus removal. Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy can enable complete on-table removal of a thrombus in a single, one- to three-hour procedure, reducing the overall thrombolysis infusion time, dosage and length of stay.. He said that there have been observational studies but no randomised trials in this area. No single pharmacomechanical thrombectomy method is clearly superior to others. Catheter-directed thrombolysis with long lytic infusions is likely to be less efficient and less safe than pharmacomechanical thrombectomy and most endovascular surgeons or interventionalists prefer faster pharmacomechanical methods that use lower doses of tPA and ...

Spanier and Frederiks describe the role of diagnosing hyperhomocysteinaemia in a patient with portal vein thrombosis. Their case not only illustrates the potential importance of hyperhomocysteinaemia but also the concurrence of multiple risk factors in portal vein thrombosis.1,2 Two inherited thrombotic risk factors (methylenetetrahydrofolate and prothrombin gene G20210A mutation) predisposed the patient to a thrombotic event which became clinically manifest after the recent start of progesterone.. There is clear evidence that hyperhomocysteinaemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hyperhomocysteinaemia can be diagnosed by genetic testing for the methylenetetrahydrofolate mutation and by measurement of increased plasma homocysteine levels, both fasting and after loading with methionine. The pathophysiological mechanism of homocysteine induced vascular disease is not well understood. It is even unclear whether homocysteine itself or a related metabolite or cofactor is ...

Patient and Clinician Communication. The panel emphasizes that patients are woefully unaware of the risk for and warning signs and symptoms of venous thromboembolism, despite the well-known association of venous thromboembolism and cancer. As stated by the authors, Communicating with patients about both the signs and symptoms and risk of [venous thromboembolism] events is crucial. Oncologists, along with other healthcare professionals on the oncology team, should assure, at minimum, that patients have a basic recognition of [venous thromboembolism] warning signs.. Health Disparities. The panel states that rates of venous thromboembolism are higher among African Americans than among the rest of the general population. The panel also notes that minority racial/ethnic patients with cancer suffer disproportionately from comorbidities, have more substantial obstacles to receiving care, are more likely to be uninsured, and are at greater risk of receiving poor quality care than other ...

Pulmonary tuberculosis has been reported as a risk factor for deep venous thrombosis. In the present study we reported, physiopathological, epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of the association of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary tuberculosis. This is a retrospective study done in our department between January 2000 and December 2007 It is about 14 cases of confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis associated with deep venous thrombosis. It is about 14 men. The mean age was 40 years old. Pulmonary tuberculosis was confirmed by the presence of acido-alcoolo-resistant bacillus on the sputum at direct exam in 12 cases [81, 8%] and in the bronchial aspiration in 2 cases [18%]. Phlebitis occurred within a mean of 20 days after the diagnosis of tuberculosis. It was confirmed by doppler deep venous ultrasound of inferior members. All patients received anti-tuberculosis drugs in association with anticoagulant treatment. Etiologic investigations showed positive anti-phospholipids antibodies in ...

An elevated platelet count can be primary or secondary. Primary thrombocytosis is called essential thrombocytosis. It is a form of myeloproliferative disease. However, platelets are also an acute phase reactant. This means that their number increases in states of stress. This is called reactive thrombocytosis. Trauma is definitely stressful. A deep vein thrombosis is also stressful. But was is the expected amount of thrombocytosis in major trauma? Is it 10%? 20%? Is 950,000 highly unlikely? There is no study that examined this specifically, but such high numbers are seen not infrequently.. Thrombosis with thrombocytosis occurs especially with essential thrombocytosis. Most of the thrombotic events are arterial, however venous thrombosis is possible. Thrombosis with reactive thrombocytosis has been described, but it is unlikely, especially with relatively low platelet counts.. When encountering thrombocytosis in the acute setting, the first step is to see if the patient had thrombocytosis before. ...

Aim. The aim of this study is to reassess the diagnostic evaluation using duplex scanning in non-hospitalized patients, suspected of having deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs.Methods. In a period of 4 years, 589 patients suspected of having DVT of the lower limbs were submitted to duplex scanning for diagnostic confirmation. The patient complaints were pain, edema or color alteration of the extremity, associated with a risk factor or not. The time span between the beginning of symptoms and the ultrasound was considered as well, with the examination being conducted only on the member that presented the signs or symptoms, or on both in case of suspicion of pulmonary embolism. This study features 203 male patients and 386 female patients, aged 19 to 93.Results. In Group 1, of the 139 patients who displayed acute venous thrombosis (N=77), 55.4% had at least one associated risk factor; in Group 11, of the 96 patients with chronic thrombosis (N=72), 75% had an associated risk factor that ...

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurs frequently in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is often diagnosed in the course of a routine patient evaluation and surveillance for liver cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between folate status and portal vein thrombosis. HCC with PVT patients were 78, HCC without PVT were 60 and control subjects were 70 randomly selected. We evaluate serum and red blood cellular folate, homocysteine, alpha fetal protein cholesterol, triglycerides, prothrombin time. HCC patients with PVT showed lower levels of serum folate, respect HCC patients without PVT, with an average difference of 1.6 nmol/l p | 0.01 (95% CI − 2.54 to − 0.66), red cell folate 33.6 nmol/l p | 0.001 (95% CI − 43.64 to − 23.55) and albumin 0.29 g/dl p | 0.001 (95% CI − 0.42 to − 0.15); PVT patients displayed higher levels of bilirubin 0.53 mg/dl p | 0.001 (95% CI 0.23 to 0.78), INR 0.91 p | 0.001 (95% CI 0.72 to 1.09), γGT 7.9 IU/l (95% CI 4.14 to 11.65) and

TY - JOUR. T1 - Portal vein thrombosis in adult Omani patients. T2 - A retrospective cohort study. AU - Al Hashmi, Khalid. AU - Al Aamri, Lamya. AU - Al Lamki, Sulayma. AU - Pathare, Anil. PY - 2017/11/1. Y1 - 2017/11/1. N2 - Objectives: We sought to study the occurrence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in adult Omani patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study in patients diagnosed with PVT, which was confirmed by radiological imaging, from two tertiary hospitals over a 10-year period. Results: Amongst the 39 patients enrolled in the study, 15 (38.4%) had cirrhosis of the liver, and 24 (61.5%) were non-cirrhotic. In the non-cirrhotic PVT patients, 15 (62.5%) had acute PVT, whereas nine (37.5%) had chronic PVT. PVT was more common in males than females, (25 (64.1%) vs. 14 (35.8%), respectively, p = 0.020). The three most common clinical symptoms were abdominal pain (n = 25, 64.1%) followed by nausea (n = 12, 30.7%) and fever (n = 8, 20.5%) patients. Causative risk ...

Conservative indications for insertion of a permanent IVC filter in patients with acute proximal DVT or PE include a contraindication for anticoagulants and, less commonly, recurrent venous thromboembolism that occurs despite adequate anticoagulant therapy (1). The use of a filter for these indications is based on the premise that the device will prevent fatal PE. Although the validity of this premise has not been established in the clinical settings for which caval interruption is usually recommended, the trial by the PREPIC study group provides valuable indirect support. The results showed that IVC filter placement reduced risk for symptomatic PE but at the cost of increased risk for recurrent DVT. 35% of patients in both groups received vitamin K antagonists for the 8-year period of follow-up, and more recurrences occurred when patients were off rather than on anticoagulant therapy. Given the study strengths (concealed allocation, blinded adjudication of outcomes, adequate sample size, and ...

Inflammation and thrombosis are interrelated. For example, inflammation increases TF, platelet reactivity, fibrinogen, and leads to exposure of increased levels of phosphotidylserine, while decreasing TM and inhibiting fibrinolysis (by increasing PAI-1).4 We have used both a rat and mouse model of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis in studies of the basic mechanisms of thrombogenesis and thrombus resolution. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) allow leukocyte transmigration, and selectins (P and E-selectin) are integrally involved in thrombosis. Selectins are the first upregulated glycoproteins on activated endothelial cells and platelets. The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin has been found upregulated in the vein wall as early as 6 h after thrombus induction, whereas E-selectin has been found upregulated at day 6 after thrombosis.5. Microparticles (MPs) are involved in the thrombotic process and the amplification of thrombosis. MPs are small (less than 1 micrometer, about the size of a bacterium), ...

Early and accurate diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is possible with the help of computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Empty Δ sign on postcontrast CT is present in only up to 30% of the cases. The role of CT venography is not yet established, but it is emerging as an effective modality for diagnosis of CVT. T2* MRI sequence is superior to spin echo in detecting CVT and small hemor rhages. MR venography is considered the technique of choice for diagnosis and follow-up of CVT, but in certain cases, MRI could be superior as it shows the thrombus itself and not just the absence of signal as seen on MR venography. Diffusion-weighted imaging is a relatively new MRI technique that is extremely sensitive in detecting acute arterial strokes and can distinguish cytotoxic and vasogenic edema. The presence of hyperintense signal on diffusion-weighted imaging in the occluded veins or sinuses at the time of diagnosis may predict a low rate of vessel recanalization.

Background Behçets disease (BD) is a systemic disease characterized by oral aphthosis, genital ulcers, ocular lesions and systemic involvement including major vessels. Vascular Behçets disease (VBD) is observed in up to 40% of BD. It is one of the major causes ofmorbidity and mortality in BD. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is the most common form of vascular involvement in Behcets disease (BD). Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) develops in up to one-half of patients with DVT and is associated with impaired quality of life (QoL). There is no data on severity of DVT related PTS and its impact on quality of life in patients with Vascular Behçets Disease (VBD). ...
