Abstract

Sequential 2D inflow NMR (SDI) venography was employed to define venous anatomy and pathology in five healthy subjects and five patients, mean age 48 +/- 7 years, with documented deep vein thrombosis. SDI images were graded independently by two observers on a scale of 1,2 nondiagnostic and 3,4 diagnostic categories. All iliac and femoropopliteal SDI venograms were diagnostic. In contrast, only one out of nine calf SDI venograms was diagnostic. SDI is a promising new method to assess the proximal peripheral venous system. Improved imaging strategy is needed to produce flow images of the calf veins.

[Experience with surgical treatment of ascendant varicophlebitis].

In ascendant varicophlebitis, the authors suggest not only crossectomy, but also radical removal of the dilated part of the great saphenous vein and of all thrombosed and non-thrombosed varicose veins in one session. They consider it important to clear the extension of the thrombosis by using an ultrasonic doppler flowmeter or the duplex scan technique; phlebography is needed only if deep venous affection is suspected. Cardinal questions of the operative technique are discussed. In cases of deep venous affection, thrombectomy is performed with Fogarty catheter. Antibiotics are generally held to be unnecessary, but early mobilisation and postoperative low-dose heparin prophylaxis are of great importance. No significant complications were detected after 37 interventions. Every patient was controlled one year after surgery. Residual complaints were found more rarely in the radically treated group. As concerns the quick and definitive recovery, mention is made of favourable economic consequences of the active surgical treatment.

Duplex ultrasound mapping of sites of deep to superficial incompetence in primary varicose veins.

Most patients undergoing treatment for primary varicose veins have only a clinical assessment or examination with a continuous wave Doppler. In this study duplex ultrasound was used to determine the site of deep to superficial reflux in 137 limbs of 96 patients presenting with primary varicose veins. The incidence of saphenopopliteal (22%) and perforator (28%) incompetence was higher than that in previous studies based on clinical examination. Only five limbs had deep venous incompetence at the popliteal level and three of these limbs had lipodermatosclerosis or ulceration. The saphenopopliteal junction was either absent or more than 10 cm from the knee joint in 13% of limbs. The information obtained from duplex scanning of patients with primary varicose veins facilitates surgical management and may lead to a lower recurrence rate.

Pulmonary embolism during compression US of the lower extremity.

To the author's knowledge, occurrence of pulmonary embolism during performance of compression ultrasound (US) of the lower extremity has not previously been reported in the radiology literature. The author describes a case in which pulmonary embolism was witnessed during compression US of venous thrombosis in a superficial femoral vein of a 64-year-old man. The embolism was documented with perfusion lung scanning.
