28,287 | Blood loss after total hip replacement: a prospective randomized study between wound compression and drainage. | A randomized, controlled study compared the effects of wound compression with drainage after primary total hip arthroplasty. In 51 patients, an inflatable cuff was placed over the wound underneath a girdle (System Calmed, Calmed AB, Askim, Sweden). Control patients had wound drainage (n = 54). Preoperative and intraope... |
28,288 | Vascular endothelial growth factor naked DNA gene transfer enhances thrombus recanalization and resolution. | Enhancing thrombus resolution may reduce the long-term complications of venous thrombosis. The aim of this study was to examine whether a sustained release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) would further improve thrombus recanalization.</AbstractText>Inferior caval vein thrombosis was induced in a cohort of ... |
28,289 | Clinical and hemodynamic significance of corona phlebectatica in chronic venous disorders. | Corona phlebectatica (corona) is a clinical sign associated with chronic venous disorders but is not yet included in the CEAP classification. Our aim was to analyze the clinical and hemodynamic correlations of corona to determine its significance and potential usefulness in classification grading and systems such as th... |
28,290 | Mid-term results of endovascular treatment for symptomatic chronic nonmalignant iliocaval venous occlusive disease. | The goal of this article is to present clinical and patency results of endovascular treatment of nonmalignant, iliocaval venous obstructive disease and to discuss the evolution of technical details.</AbstractText>From November 1995 to June 2004, 44 patients (female-male ratio, 3.9:1; left-right lower limb ratio, 8.6:1;... |
28,291 | Small molecule coagulation cascade inhibitors in the clinic. | Venous thromboembolic disease, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a cause of significant mortality and morbidity. For several decades, anticoagulant options for the treatment and prevention of thrombosis have been limited mainly to agents such as unfractionated heparin and oral vitamin K antagoni... |
28,292 | The assessment of platelet activation in antiplatelet drug development. | Platelet activation plays an important role in a wide range of pathological conditions. For example, platelet activation has been shown to be involved in the defence against parasitic infection, the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease, and various arterial and venous thrombotic diseases. Indeed, there is considerab... |
28,293 | [Clinical reasoning and decision-making in practice. A patient with oliguria following prostatectomy]. | A 70-year-old man with clinically localised prostate carcinoma underwent extraperitoneal endoscopic radical prostatectomy. His medical history revealed hypertension, renal colic, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and recurrent deep venous thrombosis in the legs. The operation was uneventful with 500 ml blood loss and no pe... |
28,294 | Removal of the OptEase retrievable vena cava filter is not feasible after extended time periods because of filter protrusion through the vena cava. | Therapeutic and prophylactic vena cava filters (VCFs) are used to prevent pulmonary embolism. Concerns exist over placing a permanent filter in a young trauma patient. Recently, retrievable VCFs have become available. One such filter is the OptEase, which has a recommended time of removal of up to 23 days after inserti... |
28,295 | Where are we with postmenopausal hormone therapy in 2005? | Recently, two large randomized placebo-controlled studies on long-term postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy, the Heart and Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study (HERS) and the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), have raise a lot of controversies, especially on the cardiovascular aspects. We briefly review these two t... |
28,296 | Cerebral venous thrombosis initially considered as a complication of spinal-epidural anaesthesia. | Cerebral venous thrombosis is an unusual condition characterized by headache, nausea, vomiting, focal deficits and epileptic seizures. In this case report we describe a patient who presented with headache and focal motor deficits after an uneventful Caesarean section, performed using combined spinal-epidural anaesthesi... |
28,297 | Transhepatic catheter-directed thrombectomy and thrombolysis of acute superior mesenteric venous thrombosis. | To evaluate clinical outcomes after percutaneous treatment of superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis.</AbstractText>A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients with SMV thrombosis treated with percutaneous catheter-directed thrombectomy/thrombolysis. The demographics of the study population, potential... |
28,298 | Safety and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and portal vein thrombosis. | Despite the absence of conclusive data, portal vein (PV) thrombosis is considered a contraindication to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of our study was to establish the safety of TACE in such patients and identify key prognostic factors a... |
