Background: Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a rare clinical disorder characterized by deep venous thrombosis and multiple pulmonary and/or bronchial aneurysms. Aneurysms in systemic circulation can also be seen. Case presentation: We report the first case of HSS with aortic aneurysm in a 55-year-old man who initially presented with deep venous thrombosis. The diagnosis of HSS revealing Beh&cce...

Thrombosis occurs most often as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction or venous thromboembolism, ie, deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The incidence of all types of thrombosis is strongly dependent on age. Among young individuals, up to age 40, venous thrombosis is the most common form of thrombosis. The risk factors for arterial and venous thrombosis differ, and among the latte...

To study the pathogenesis of in vivo thrombus formation and to evaluate novel preventive or therapeutic strategies, animal models of venous thrombosis have been in use for more than 50 years. In the past decades numerous animal models of venous thrombosis have been developed and have been applied for a variety of objectives and mostly without certain predictive value for the relevance to human ...

PURPOSE To prospectively use MRI in the early detection of intracranial sino-venous thrombosis during the L-asparaginase induction therapy of acute leukemia thus preventing the evolution of brain venous infarct. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study population consisted of seventy patients receiving L-asparaginase induction therapy for acute leukemia in the National Cancer Institute of Cairo Univers...

Venous thrombosis of the upper extremity is a rare disease. Therefore, not as much is known about risk factors, treatment and the risk of recurrence as for venous thrombosis of the leg. Only central venous catheters and strenuous exercise are commonly known risk factors for an upper extremity venous thrombosis. In this review an overview of the different risk factors, possible treatments and th...

BACKGROUND Accumulated data indicate that the administration of low-dose subcutaneous heparin reduces the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in high-risk surgical and medical patients. Because deep venous thrombosis predisposes to pulmonary embolism, it is generally accepted that reducing deep venous thrombosis will reduce pulmonary embolism, the most common preventable cause of death in hospi...

The Syndrome of Latent Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Its Frequency and Relation to Age and Congestive Heart Failure • The present investigation indicates the high incidence of intracranial venous thrombosis in adults in the older age groups, especially in the female. Commonly overlooked clinically and pathologically, cerebral venous thrombosis is usually preceded by congestive circulatory failure...

OBJECTIVES To study whether exercise is associated with the risk of venous thrombosis in elderly people. DESIGN Observational study with a median follow-up of 11.6 years. SETTING The Cardiovascular Health Study in four U.S. communities. PARTICIPANTS People aged 65 and older without prior venous thrombosis (deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). MEASUREMENTS Self-reported exercis...

BACKGROUND An explanation for the increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with venous thrombosis is lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate whether risk factors for arterial cardiovascular disease also increase the risk of venous thrombosis. DESIGN AND METHODS Cases who had a first venous thrombosis (n=515) and matched controls (n=1,505) were identified ...
