Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy for acute symptomatic lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmacomechanical thrombectomy performed by using a rotational thrombectomy device for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. METHODS Between April 2012 and November 2014, 17 patients with acute deep vein thrombosis underwent pharmacomechanical thrombolysis. The thrombectomy device was used in a single-session te...
متن کاملNear-miss in focused lower-extremity ultrasound for deep venous thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Focused, proximal compression ultrasound (FPCUS) is a commonly used point-of-care study in the Emergency Department (ED). Pelvic vein deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a rare presentation, and Emergency Physicians need to be aware of the limitations and pitfalls of FPCUS. OBJECTIVE A case of external iliac vein DVT diagnosed in the ED is presented, with a focus on subtle signs seen d...

متن کاملExtremity and caval deep venous thrombosis
Introduction Advances in supportive care have changed the landscape of clinical pediatrics from acute life-threatening conditions to more chronic diseases. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising of deep venous and thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), traditionally considered as an acute and chronic disease of the elderly, is increasingly recognized in hospitalized children and has em...
متن کاملIsolated Deep Venous Thrombosis: Implications for 2-Point Compression Ultrasonography of the Lower Extremity.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Two-point compression ultrasonography focuses on the evaluation of common femoral and popliteal veins for complete compressibility. The presence of isolated thrombi in proximal veins other than the common femoral and popliteal veins should prompt modification of 2-point compression technique. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and distribution of deep ven...
