1/46. Intrafibular varix: MR diagnosis.We describe a case of a surgically proven intraosseous venous anomaly of the fibula in a patient who presented with ankle pain and swelling with deep venous thrombosis. MRI, including gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography, provides a less invasive means than conventional venography for diagnosing these lesions and assessing venous patency while also allowing for evaluation of extravascular structures.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/46. Endoscopic management of bleeding ectopic varices with histoacryl.Bleeding from antral and duodenal varices is an uncommon feature in patients with portal hypertension. We report a patient with cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis, who had a massive bleed from antral and duodenal varices. Bleeding was controlled with endoscopic injection of varices using histoacryl. Endoscopic treatment and the relatively uncommon occurrence of antral and duodenal varices are highlighted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/46. Acute massive pulmonary embolism following high ligation combined with compression sclerotherapy for varicose veins report of a case.A case of acute pulmonary embolism following high ligation and compression sclerotherapy for varicose veins is reported. A 54-year-old women developed superficial varicosities and stasis pigmentation on her left leg 1 year prior to her first visit to hospital. No deep vein thrombosis was detected by ascending phlebography performed 3 months prior to operation. High ligation combined with compression sclerotherapy was performed for the varicose veins. One day after treatment, the patient complained of chest pain and discomfort, and then collapsed. perfusion scintigraphy revealed multiple embolisms in the bilateral lungs. The patient recovered after aggressive anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy. Although pulmonary embolism is a rare complication of sclerotherapy, it is potentially one of the most serious.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6997161303143keywords = thrombosis, embolism (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/46. Superficial thrombophlebitis of pubic collateral veins after gynecological surgery: a case report.Superficial pubic collateral veins are the result of iliac vein occlusion due to previous thrombosis. They can be accompanied by deep crossover veins. We present a patient with thrombophlebitis of superficial pubic collateral veins after a hysteroscopic procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/46. Congestive brain oedema associated with a pial arteriovenous malformation with impaired venous drainage.We describe two patients with an unruptured pial AVM accompanied by significant brain oedema at initial presentation. In both cases, the primary drainer was a cortical vein showing varicose dilatation. in which venous congestion was indicated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The restriction of venous drainage presumably caused venous hypertension in the surrounding brain, leading to the brain oedema and neurological symptoms. brain oedema can develop in patients with an unruptured AVM by venous congestion following spontaneous thrombosis of venous components. Varicosity in a major cortical draining vein and a small nidus are the possible lesions predisposing this fairly rare condition for unruptured AVMs.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/46. factor v Leiden and prothrombin G20210A in relation to arterial and/or vein rethrombosis: two cases.The factor v Leiden (FV Leiden) and prothrombin G20210A mutations, are the most common established genetic risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, the relationship between these mutations and arterial thrombotic syndromes (coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke) has not been established. Some studies have suggested a relationship between them, but other authors have considered it unlikely that these anomalies are a major risk factor for arterial thrombosis. From the clinical point of view, a question arises concerning the risk of repeated thrombosis in patients carrying one of these two mutations. The question is whether the recurrence is attributable to the mutations or to the presence of additional circumstantial risk factors. As the risk of repeated thrombosis varies considerably from one patient to another, decisions about long-term treatment require weighing the persistence of risk factors for vascular disease (venous and arterial), especially in selected cases such as young patients or patients with thrombosis of unusual localization.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 9keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/46. Inferior mesocaval shunt for bleeding anorectal varices and portal vein thrombosis.Intractable bleeding from anorectal varices is a serious and often misdiagnosed complication of portal hypertension and no agreement has been reached on which could be the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategy. Indeed, fatal outcome has been often reported resulting from delayed diagnosis and improper treatment. The case of a 67-year-old gentleman with life-threatening bleeding from anorectal varices who successfully underwent inferior mesocaval shunt is reported, and surgical technique for establishing a shunt between the inferior mesenteric vein and inferior vena cava is described. A review of other therapeutic options is presented and results are discussed and compared to those obtained with this novel form of treatment. In our experience, immediate control of recurrent bleeding from anorectal varices was obtained with inferior mesocaval shunt. Technical ease, promptness of action and effectiveness, low procedure-related morbidity are the main features of the shunt. With the introduction of new promising second-line treatment modalities to primary and metastatic liver tumors, like percutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation, and improvement in outcome of portal vein thrombosis, the inferior mesocaval shunt may represent a sound alternative for patients who are ineligible for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or presenting with clotted shunt.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/46. Intraluminal iliac venous calcification.Two patients with bilateral intraluminal iliac venous calcifications have been reported. Both patients are elderly multiparous females with long-standing peripheral venous disease and a history of previous gynaecologic surgery. The iliac thrombosis may have occurred at the time of delivery or pelvic surgery. These are the first such cases to be reported in the English literature in the last 25 years and the only example documented with venography in the recent world literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/46. Bleeding duodenal varices after gastroesophageal varices ligation: a case report.Duodenal varices are rarely occurring sites of hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension, and such hemorrhaging can be a life-threatening event. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with cirrhosis who presented with melena after successful ligation of gastroesophageal varices 1 week earlier. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed bleeding duodenal varices in the second portion of the duodenum, which was considered to be the source of the bleeding. Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with histoacryl and lipiodol achieved successful hemostasis. Nonetheless, the sclerosant spread to the lungs via a portosystemic shunt, causing a pulmonary embolism. This is a rare complication seldom reported in the world literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.099959447187759keywords = embolism (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/46. Retroperitoneal hematoma caused by a ruptured pelvic varix in a patient with iliac vein compression syndrome.may-thurner syndrome, or iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS), is a rare but well-described entity. It refers to the formation of venous thrombus caused by compression of the left iliac vein, most commonly between the right iliac artery and lumbar vertebrae. Several variants of IVCS have been described, including unusual presenting symptoms, etiologies, and complications. The authors describe an unusual case of IVCS in which the patient presented with a left-sided retroperitoneal hematoma arising from a ruptured collateral venous varix shortly after the development of symptomatic left lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = thrombosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
