Objective: Inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies are very rare vascular embryological variations, the incidence rate in general population is 0.5%. IVC usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally. The inferior formed between 6th 8th weeks of intrauterine development. occurs due to fusion supracardinal, postcardinal, subcardinal veins during period. This union results from complex anastomosis st...

This article has been prepared on the basis of the Ultrasonography Standards of the Polish Ultrasound Society (2011) and updated based on the latest findings and reports. Ultrasound examination of the lower extremity veins is relatively easy and commonly used to confirm or rule out venous thrombosis. However, a relatively easy compression test frequently requires experience, particularly in sit...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to evaluate the feasibility of catheter-directed thrombolysis with a continuous infusion of low-dose urokinase for treating non-acute (less than 14 days) deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data of 110 patients who were treated by catheter-directed thrombolysis with a continuous infusion of low-dose urokinase for lower extremit...

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine whether deep vein thrombosis (DVT) predominantly occurred on a particular side in the pelvic and lower extremity veins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 259 consecutive patients with leg swelling, 65 were confirmed to have DVT in the pelvis and lower extremities, and enrolled in this study. The serum levels of initial D-dimer, antithrombin III, tissue plasmino...

Venography furnishes a map of the otherwise invisible deep veins of the extremities, discloses pathological changes, localizes the communicating veins, and tests the function of veins and valves. This clinical study, was carried out to evaluate the serial retrograde venography of the lower extremities with varicose veins, using the serial long film changer with a tilt. Forty-three extremities w...

via and lower extremity veins using ttmTc-albu. mm microspheres was performed in 53 patients with pulmonary emboli or venous disease. In 25 patients who underwent both contrast and RNV studies, there were no false-positive studies and one false-negative. In this series the accu racy of RNV exceeded that of Doppler alone. When the results of these two methods were combined, false-negative studie...
