[PROPHYLAXIS OF THROMBOEMBOLIC COMPLICATIONS IN TRANSFASCIAL THROMBOSIS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES]
Abstract:
Results of examination and treatment of 339 patients, suffering an acute varicothrombophlebitis, complicated by transfascial thrombosis, were analyzed. Indications for surgical prophylaxis of pulmonary thromboembolism in transfascial thrombosis in a system of vena cava inferior were studied. After the operation in all the patients, while presence of transfascial thrombosis, not taking into account the operation radicalism, the treatment was prescribed, similar to that for the deep veins thrombosis. In the deep veins thrombosis, combined with superficial varicothrombophlebitis , an access for excision of a small subcutaneous vein of lower extremity must be differentiated, depending on spreading of thrombotic occlusion and localization of the calf veins inflowing place. Introduction of active surgical tactic in presence of floating thrombus in the ankle—popliteal venous segment secures conduction of effective prophylaxis of pulmonary thromboembolism
