A 42 year-old male former semi-professional soccer player sustained a right lower extremity popliteal contusion during a soccer game. He was clinically diagnosed with a possible traumatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and sent for confirmatory tests. A duplex doppler ultrasound was positive for DVT, and the patient was admitted to hospital for anticoagulation (unfractionated heparin, warfarin). U...

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its risk factors in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) before spinal surgery are poorly understood. We investigated this association with a retrospective cross-sectional study. PATIENTS CONCERNS The study cohort consisted of all consecutive patients with CSM who were scheduled for spinal surgery at our institution ...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition, in which an obstruction of blood flow in veins is found due to the formation of blood clots in the deep veins. An objective diagnosis of DVT is based on ultrasonography examination. However, in poor countries, including Indonesia, many hospitals still do not have the facilities of ultrasonography, less vascular specialists, or D-dimer examination and t...

The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) derived from the peripheral blood of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients compared with healthy controls. First, EPCs were obtained from DVT patients and healthy controls. Then, LncRNA gene expression profile analysis was performed by microarray. Bioinformatic analyses (gene ontology, pa...

The incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is high in orthopaedic cases, associated with morbidity and mortality. This study was done to evaluate the incidence of DVT and factors that contributed to DVT in elderly patients with proximal femur fracture who underwent surgery. Patients 60 years of age and older with proximal femur fracture who underwent surgery were enrolled into this study. Dail...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Because specific studies are unavailable, the exact prevalence of detectable "residual" deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is unknown. DESIGN Review of clinical records and radiologic documents of consecutive patients. SETTING Pulmonary diseases and radiology departments at a university hospital. PATIENTS All patients hospitalized ...

OBJECTIVE To study whether the course of anticoagulation therapy in patients who have deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after total joint arthroplasty can be shortened with a minimal risk of recurrence. DESIGN A case series. SETTING Kingston General Hospital, a university-affiliated tertiary care centre. PATIENTS Eleven patients who were found to have DVT after total hip or knee arthroplasty o...

Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that reduces quality of life and has important socioeconomic consequences. More than one-third of patients with DVT will develop PTS, and 5% to 10% of patients will develop severe PTS, which may manifest as venous ulceration. The principal risk factors forPTSarepersistent legsymptoms1month after the acute ep...

BACKGROUND There have been sporadic reports on the Asian risk factor of DVT after total knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors of DVT MATERIAL AND METHOD: Retrospective review of one hundred patients who had undergone TKA and postoperative Contrast Venography in bilateral legs between 2002 and 2005 were performed to identify risk factor of DVT The patients were divided int...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important life threatening condition that is difficult to diagnose, particularly in the early stages. Looking for DVT in lower limb can be considered ancillary in suspected cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) indirectly highlighting a cause and effect relationship of a single disease (i.e cause being DVT and effect is the assault on the lung vasculature). Prompt an...
