[Diagnosis and treatment of inferior vena cava thrombosis]
Abstract:
A total of 572 patients with acute thrombosis in deep veins of the inferior vena cava system were treated in the Department of Vascular Surgery. X-ray contrast retrograde iliocavography (XICG) revealed 96.5 % cases of iliocaval segment thrombosis. Signs of thromboembolism in pulmonary artery branches (TELA) were detected by angiopulmonography (APG) in 92.3% cases. Thrombectomy was undertaken in 62 (39.7%) of the patients, venous clipping or placation without thrombectomy were performed in 94 (60.3%) ones. All operated patients experienced regress of clinical symptoms of deep vein thrombosis in the absence of TELA and were discharged in good clinical condition. It is concluded that surgical techniques for the prevention of TELA should be chosen on an individual basis taking account of thrombus character and location detected by central duplex scanning, XICG and APG.
