It is emphasized in the discussed problem that several factors participate simultaneously in the mechanism of thrombogenesis. At the same time, local hemodynamic disorders (congestion, turbulent flow, local hypoxemia) lead to pathological changes of blood platelet hemostatic properties in these
Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is a recurrent, inflammatory, segmental occlusive disease of distal limb arteries which may involve veins as well. Young smokers are predisposed to TAO. The intestinal vessels are rarely affected. We report the clinical, angiographic and histologic findings of a
The complex physiopathology of the post-thrombotic syndrome following deep venous thrombophlebitis involves a sequence of hemodynamic and biochemical events; development of the clinical picture, which remains susceptible to change, is a late occurrence following a long free interval. Despite
A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of progressive dyspnea on effort. Arterial blood gas analysis showed severe hypoxemia, and a chest radiograph revealed reticular shadows in both lower lungs and an increase of the cardiothoracic ratio. Echocardiography demonstrated mild
A 20-year-old man with a known history of thrombophlebitis experienced massive pulmonary embolism with hypoxia and shock. Embolectomy was performed with hyperbaric oxygenation for cardiopulmonary support. Ligation of the inferior vena cava was required postoperatively to prevent further embolism.
The authors should like to contribute to the unsettled problem of the development of varicose venous disease with their own experience. They evaluate parallel the histomorphological observations and certain pathobiochemical changes which can be recognized in exstirpated varicose veins. Fourty five
Recurrent pulmonary embolism sometimes (3% of hospital autopsies) determines a progressive obstruction of the pulmonary vascular bed, which in turn causes pulmonary arterial hypertension and in time right ventricular hypertrophy and failure. The first stages of this process are characterized by
A case of unexpected cardiac arrest occurring in a 17-year-old male patient is reported. The patient had been admitted after sustaining hand trauma. A first emergency surgical procedure was carried out, followed about three weeks later by another one. No incidents occurred during or after either of
In a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial, the efficacy of penicillin plus ofloxacin was compared to that of amoxicillin-clavulanate plus erythromycin in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia. One hundred seventeen hospitalized patients presenting with severe community-acquired
We studied 196 patients with suspicion of pulmonary embolism (PE) to evaluate the role of clinical pattern, with special reference to gender and age, in raising the suspicion. Results are that clinical and instrumental patterns, although not specific for PE, may show highly frequent symptoms and
We studied 196 patients with suspicion of pulmonary embolism (PE), subsequently confirmed in 98 by positive pulmonary angiography and excluded in 98 by normal or near-normal perfusion lung scan. Patients had a clinical questionnaire for history, and, soon after. a radiograph, blood gas analysis, and
To contribute for making early diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (APE), we investigated on clinical pictures of 225 patients with APE. Common underlying factors were heart disease, prolonged bed rest, post-surgical state, thrombophlebitis, malignant tumor and post-catheterization
Evaluation of the risk of thromboembolic disease (TED) was based on the study of reactions of hemostatic and fibrinolytic systems in response to the influence of test-irritant such as twice applied local hypoxia of upper extremities. The study was made on 20 healthy subjects, 15 patients with
Recurrent pulmonary emboli ultimately may produce respiratory insufficiency, severe hypoxemia, and progressive pulmonary hypertension. In many patients this syndrome is silent in its initial phases, and when thrombophlebitis is present it is often unresponsive to anticoagulant therapy. Unless

Lemierre syndrome is a life-threating condition characterized by recent oropharyngeal infection, internal jugular vein thrombosis, and anaerobic septicemia. It is usually caused by
