[Thrombosis due to venous catheters--evaluation using CT].

    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) effectively diagnoses and evaluates the extent of thrombosis caused by venous catheters. This imaging technique is a viable alternative to phlebography for critically ill patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Vascular Imaging
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Indwelling venous catheters for therapy and parenteral nutrition are associated with thrombosis.
    • Accurate diagnosis and assessment of thrombosis extent are crucial for treatment planning.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) was used to investigate thrombosis in three patients with permanent venous catheters.
    • CT imaging provided a clear diagnosis and reliable evaluation of thrombosis extent in all cases.

    Findings:

    • CT successfully identified severe thrombosis in patients with permanent venous catheters.
    • The diagnostic accuracy and extent evaluation of venous thrombosis were confirmed via CT.

    Implications:

    • CT requires minimal contrast medium and is well-tolerated by severely ill patients.
    • CT serves as a valuable alternative to phlebography for diagnosing and assessing large vein thrombosis.
