Obesity is a growing problem around the world, and radiology departments frequently encounter difficulties related to large patient size. Diagnosis and management of suspected venous thromboembolism, in particular deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), are challenging even in some
BACKGROUND
The increasing prevalence of obesity translates into a greater number of obese patients undergoing general surgery procedures. We questioned if increased awareness and recent prophylaxis guidelines impacted the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the obese patients.
METHODS
A
The aim of this study was to investigate prospectively the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after surgery for morbid obesity. The series comprised 116 consecutive patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The median age and body mass index were 35 years (range 19-59 years) and 42 kg/m2
Evidence suggests that isolated intracranial hypertension (iIH) is often associated with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). In eight patients referred to our Institution for iIH who were later shown to harbor CVT we have performed a comprehensive coagulation work-up, including genetic tests for
Extreme obesity or Class III obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 kg/m2 and is invariably associated with a marked increase in morbidity and mortality. Our patient is a 36-year-old male wrestler, with a BMI of 63.53 kg/m2, and has been suffering from
A morbidly obese patient with history of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism was diagnosed with an acute left upper extremity deep vein thrombosis and started on rivaroxaban. Three months later, the patient returned with swelling in the right arm and was found to have a right brachial
BACKGROUND
Abdominal obesity has been found to be associated with an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Whether patients with abdominal obesity have an increased risk of recurrence is currently unknown.
METHODS
Patients with objective diagnosis of DVT and a life expectancy of greater than
BACKGROUND
To define the incidence of deep vein thrombosis in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
METHODS
A retrospective study was conducted for all patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass from 2004 to 2006. The data collected included patient
The world is experiencing an obesity pandemic, with rates of obesity rising for more than two decades. Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m (2) or greater. Of particular concern are the risks that millions of obese people are likely to develop chronic diseases and at earlier ages
It is not well established whether haemorheological alterations constitute independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We have determined in 149 DVT patients and in 185 control subjects the body mass index (BMI), the haemorheological profile: blood viscosity (BV), plasma viscosity (PV),
The number of overweight and obese individuals in the population has increased dramatically in the past few decades, and the rising prevalence of obesity is a major public health concern. Growing evidence has accrued for obesity as a risk factor for venous thrombosis. The risk of venous thrombosis
We aimed to investigate the association between obesity and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in a country with a high prevalence of obesity. This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who presented with DVT between 2008 and 2012. Data were analyzed and compared based on body mass index (BMI), and
Essentials Whether excess body weight influences recurrent venous thrombosis (VT) risk is uncertain. We included 3889 VT patients, classified into body mass index (BMI) strata to estimate recurrent VT risk. No evidence of an increased risk for excess body weight was found. Measuring BMI is not a
In the Multiple Environmental and Genetic Assessment of risk factors for venous thrombosis (MEGA study), body weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated as risk factors. Additionally, the joint effect of obesity together with oral contraceptive use and prothrombotic mutations on the
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that obesity is causally associated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
METHODS
A Mendelian randomization design.
METHODS
The Copenhagen General Population Study and the Copenhagen City Heart Study combined.
METHODS
Body mass index (BMI) measurements were available
