BACKGROUND
Following venous injury, venorrhaphy can restore outflow, although it risks thrombosis and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Vein ligation is a faster option, although it potentially risks extremity edema. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management of venous injury on VTE and
A total of 71 pregnant women diagnosed by ultrasound to have viable fetus in late mid- trimester pregnancies of normal, IUGR, hydrops fetalis and chromosomal anomalies were studied for their coagulation, fibrinolytic and inhibitor levels with association on eventual obstetrics outcome. A
Patients who undergo surgery are at a high risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). To further define the demographics, comorbidities, and risk factors of VTE in patients undergoing major surgery, we analyzed 1,375 hospitalized non-orthopedic surgery patients in a prospective registry of
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary thromboembolism and deep venous thrombosis occur in pediatric age, with unknown incidence, morbidity and mortality. Our aim is to review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, complementary diagnostic tests and prognosis of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism and deep
OBJECTIVE
In a preliminary pilot study of 30 treatments in 26 patients with osteonecrosis of the jaws and chronic disabling facial pain, our specific aim was to determine whether, to what degree, and how safely therapy of hypofibrinolysis and thrombophilia would ameliorate the chronic pain
A 43-year-old male with eunuchoid body proportions and a history of deep venous thromboses in the right leg presented with recurrent ulcers in the right perimalleolar region for 6 years. Karyotyping revealed a 47 XXY Klinefelter's syndrome, while serologic testing showed protein S deficiency,
Pregnancy and the postpartum period have an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The condition is unique during this period for several reasons. Primarily, because there is complexity in diagnosing this condition in view of altered physiology and preexisting edema in pregnancy and
Venous thromboembolism is a life-threatening adverse event in spine patients and presents difficult decisions for the surgeon and patient. Prophylactic protocols have been established to prevent the occurrence of venous thromboembolism and its sequelae, including venous occlusion, edema,
Venous thromboembolism is the leading cause of maternal death in the United States. Pregnancy is a risk factor for deep venous thrombosis, and risk is further increased with a personal or family history of thrombosis or thrombophilia. Screening for thrombophilia is not recommended for the general
Enoxaparin (enoxaparin sodium) is a low-molecular-weight heparin that binds to and increases the activity of antithrombin III. The resulting complex inhibits prothrombinase-mediated thrombin generation and direct thrombin generation by binding to factor Xa and thrombin factor IIa. Enoxaparin, used
Introduction The major hemostatic problem in cirrhotic patients is the increased risk of bleeding, but venous thromboembolism is also being reported as a noticeable feature of cirrhosis. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the frequency of venous thromboembolism in patients with liver
OBJECTIVE
To determine the risk of thrombophilias in women with unexplained intrauterine fetal deaths (IUFD).
METHODS
All women with IUFD at 27 weeks' gestation or greater were initially assessed during a period of 26 months. Subjects with multiple pregnancies, congenital anomalies, intrauterine
BACKGROUND
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a concerning problem for hospitalized heart failure (HF) patients. Current recommendations are that all hospitalized New York Heart Association Class III or IV HF patients should receive VTE prophylaxis. Our purpose was to describe the rate of use and the
UNASSIGNED
Lower extremity edema is extremely common among patients seen across multiple specialties. The differential diagnosis is broad and ranges from simple dependent edema to more complex conditions such as chronic venous disease and lymphedema. Several key features from the history and
