Pelvic Thrombosis

Deep Venous Thrombosis After Radical Pelvic Surgery

Deep venous thrombosis or DVT is a blood clot formation in one or more of the deep veins. The blood clot does not break down and therefore, it can become larger and occlude the blood flow within the affected vein. The most frequent sites are the leg veins (femoral and popliteal) and the deep pelvic veins. Rarely, the arm veins are affected (Paget-Schrötter disease). Pulmonary embolism (PE) is t...

Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography in diagnosis of pelvic vein thrombosis during pregnancy.

INTRODUCTION Pelvic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is difficult to diagnose during pregnancy. In a two-center trial, we evaluated the agreement between ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing the extent of DVT into the pelvic veins during pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pregnant women with proximal DVT were examined both with ultrasound and MRI as part of a study desig...

Imaging Findings of Pelvic Tumor Thrombosis Extending from Sacral Bone Metastasis of Adrenocortical Carcinoma

We report the imaging findings of a patient with adrenocortical carcinoma who showed pelvic tumor thrombosis extending from sacral bone metastasis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated extensive intraluminal filling defects in the pelvic veins. A lytic lesion in the sacrum was also noted and continuity between the sacral lesion and the filling defect in the branch of pelvic veins ...

Effect of defibrase on deep vein thrombosis following the surgical treatment of pelvic fracture

Objective: This study is to investigate the effect of defibrase on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following the surgical treatment for pelvic fracture. Methods: This study included 40 patients who received surgical treatment for pelvic fracture. Blood samples were collected at 24 h before surgery, and 24 h and 72 h after surgery. Plasma levels of endothelin (ET), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), and 6-Keto-P...
