Abstract:
From 1988 to 1990, 45 cases of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was confirmed by 99mTc radionuclide venography (RNV) at PUMC hospital. Each case was treated by subcutaneous injection of low dose heparin. 21 cases of the 45 cases had post-therapeutic RNV. The results were excellent in 19 cases (complete improvement: swelling, discolouration and pain disappeared), good in 18 cases (marked improvement) and poor in 8 cases (incomplete improvement). Low dose heparin subcutaneous injection can relieve symptoms of DVT and avoid bleeding complication.
