Superficial thrombophlebitis (SVT) affects more women but men face higher complication risks. Duplex scanning is crucial for identifying complications, especially with greater saphenous vein involvement or specific risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Phlebology

Background:

  • Superficial thrombophlebitis (SVT) is a common vascular condition.
  • Accurate diagnosis and risk stratification are essential for effective management.
  • Duplex scanning has become a primary tool for evaluating venous thrombosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the laboratory's experience with SVT diagnosed via duplex scanning.
  • To identify risk factors associated with SVT complications.
  • To evaluate the role of duplex scanning in detecting SVT complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 186 patients diagnosed with SVT using lower extremity venous duplex examinations.
  • Categorization of acute venous thrombosis cases and entry into a computer database.

  • Statistical analysis to identify predisposing factors for SVT complications.

    • Main Results:

    • SVT was diagnosed in 186 patients (99 women, 87 men).
    • Men had a higher rate of complicated SVT (40% vs. 22%).
    • Six risk factors for complications were identified: bilateral SVT, age >60, male sex, history of deep venous thrombosis, bed rest, and infection.
    • Greater saphenous vein thrombus (35%) was most associated with complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Duplex scanning is effective in diagnosing SVT and identifying complications.
    • Specific risk factors increase the likelihood of SVT complications.
    • Consider duplex scanning for SVT, particularly with saphenous vein involvement or identified risk factors.
