    Intermittent sequential leg compression enhances leg vein fibrinolytic activity, shortening euglobulin lysis time (ELT). This improved blood flow may help prevent deep venous thrombosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Medicine
    • Hemodynamics
    • Thrombosis Research

    Context:

    • Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a significant clinical concern.
    • Intermittent sequential compression (ISC) is used to improve venous return.
    • The impact of ISC on fibrinolytic activity requires further elucidation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the effect of bilateral intermittent sequential leg compression on euglobulin lysis time (ELT) in antecubital and femoral veins.
    • To assess changes in blood velocity in the femoral vein during ISC.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of ISC in modulating fibrinolytic activity in a post-operative setting.

    Summary:

    • Intermittent sequential leg compression for one hour significantly shortened euglobulin lysis time (ELT) in both antecubital and femoral veins.

  • Doppler ultrasound revealed substantial increases in mean (183%) and peak (178%) femoral vein blood velocity during compression.
  • Post-operative patients receiving ISC showed significantly shorter ELTs compared to controls, indicating enhanced fibrinolysis.

    • Impact:

    • Intermittent sequential leg compression demonstrably increases leg vein fibrinolytic activity.
    • The observed increase in fibrinolysis suggests a potential mechanism for deep venous thrombosis prevention.
    • This study provides evidence supporting the use of ISC in clinical settings to mitigate thrombotic risk.
