    The serial fibrinogen uptake test can detect iliofemoral venous thrombosis progression despite anticoagulation. This test helps identify patients needing further intervention to prevent potentially lethal pulmonary embolism.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Thrombosis Management

    Background:

    • Iliofemoral venous thrombosis (IFVT) can propagate despite adequate anticoagulation.
    • Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious complication of IFVT.
    • Early detection of thrombosis propagation is crucial for timely intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the serial fibrinogen uptake test (SFUT) in detecting IFVT propagation during heparin therapy.
    • To assess the correlation between SFUT findings and the occurrence of PE.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-three patients with confirmed IFVT receiving heparin sodium were enrolled.
    • The SFUT was performed serially to measure isotope uptake in the affected limb.
    • Clinical signs and lung scan findings were monitored for evidence of PE.

    Main Results:

    • Eight patients showed increasing isotope uptake, indicating thrombosis propagation.
    • Three of these eight patients subsequently developed clinical and imaging evidence of PE.
    • Fifteen patients exhibited decreasing isotope uptake, with no signs of PE.

    Conclusions:

    • SFUT is a valuable tool for detecting IFVT propagation despite adequate anticoagulation.
    • Progressive thrombosis identified by SFUT suggests anticoagulation failure and warrants consideration of inferior vena cava interruption.
    • Early intervention based on SFUT findings may prevent life-threatening PE.
