29,281 | Three cases with May-Thurner syndrome: a possibly under-reported disorder. | The May-Thurner syndrome is an acquired stenosis of the left common iliac vein causing left lower leg edema, thigh discomfort, and deep venous thrombosis. This condition was first described by May and Thurner in 1956 in 22% of autopsy series. They concluded that it was the underlying factor for deep venous thrombosis o... |
29,282 | Portal vein thrombosis: etiology, diagnostic strategy, therapy and management. | Myeloproliferative disorder, liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension, deficiency of natural anticoagulant proteins, gene mutation and hepatocellular carcinoma are the most frequent causes of portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Higher accuracy of the diagnostic methods is the reason why today the cause of PVT can be found mo... |
29,283 | Budd-Chiari syndrome: a case with a combination of hepatic vein and superior vena cava occlusion. | We here report a recent, rare case of Budd-Chiari syndrome, associated with a combination of hepatic vein and superior vena cava occlusion.

29,284 | Origin and natural history of deep vein thrombosis of the legs. | Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a disorder frequently affecting the deep veins of the lower limbs; its onset is induced by known risk factors. The main complications of DVT are pulmonary embolism and postthrombotic syndrome (PST). Clinical pulmonary embolism occurs in a high proportion of cases of untreated proximal DVT ... |
29,285 | Antibody profiles for the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. | Among the so called 'antiphospholipid antibodies', the presence of Lupus Anticoagulant (LA) is associated with thrombosis-related events and defines the antiphospholipid syndrome. The role of anti-cardiolipin (aCL) antibodies and anti-human beta2-glycoprotein I (abeta2GPI) antibodies is less striking. Since the problem... |
29,286 | High utilization rate of vena cava filters in deep vein thrombosis. | The objective was to investigate newly diagnosed patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) who received inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs). A prospective registry enrolled 5451 patients from 183 US study sites. In all patients, examination by venous duplex ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of DVT. We collected and anal... |
29,287 | Angiotensin II enhances thrombosis development in renovascular hypertensive rats. | There is an increased number of in vitro evidence that angiotensin II (Ang II) may promote thrombosis. However there are no in vivo experiments exploring the effect of Ang II on thrombus formation. In the present study we have investigated the influence of Ang II on venous thrombosis in renovascular hypertensive rats. ... |
29,288 | Retinal vein occlusion: a form of venous thrombosis or a complication of atherosclerosis? A meta-analysis of thrombophilic factors. | Previous studies have shown an increased risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in patients with hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes mellitus. Literature on the association between thrombophilic factors and RVO consists of small studies and case reports. The objective was to determine the relationship between... |
29,289 | First-line thalidomide-dexamethasone therapy in preparation for autologous stem cell transplantation in young patients (<61 years) with symptomatic multiple myeloma. | Thalidomide-dexamethasone therapy was given in patients (<61 years) with previously untreated symptomatic multiple myeloma. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and toxicity of this combination as first-line therapy, and to determine its effect on stem cell collection and engraftment. During first-line t... |
29,290 | The mid-term efficacy and safety of a permanent nitinol IVC filter(TrapEase). | 1) To evaluate the mid-term efficacy and safety of a permanent nitinol inferior vena cava (IVC) filter; 2) to evaluate filter effectiveness, filter stability and caval occlusion.</AbstractText>A prospective evaluation of the TrapEase IVC filter was performed on 42 patients (eight men, 34 women) ranging in age from 22 t... |
29,291 | The effect of combined estrogen and progesterone hormone replacement therapy on disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus: a randomized trial. | There is concern that exogenous female hormones may worsen disease activity in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).</AbstractText>To evaluate the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on disease activity in postmenopausal women with SLE.</AbstractText>Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled noninfe... |
29,292 | Importance of T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI for diagnosis of cortical vein thrombosis. | We examined six patients with isolated venous thrombosis (n = 2), or venous thrombosis combined with sinus thrombosis (n = 4) (CVT). The clinical symptoms were non-specific (acute cephalea, paresis, epileptic seizure, progressive speech disorder). All examinations were performed on a 1.5 T system (Magnetom Symphony, Si... |
29,293 | Treatment of Medical Complications in Patients with Brain Tumors. | Patients with primary brain tumors and those with cerebral metastases are at risk throughout their illness for several major medical problems, including vasogenic edema, seizures, and symptomatic venous thrombosis. In turn, the corticosteroids, anti-epileptic drugs, and anticoagulants used to treat these problems may p... |
29,294 | Temporary hemodialysis catheters as a long-term vascular access in chronic hemodialysis patients. | The objective was to review our experience with temporary, precurved, jugular catheters used for long-term vascular access in chronic hemodialysis patients. Thirty chronic hemodialysis patients, 14 men and 16 women, with an average age of 65.3 +/- 13.5 years (30-90 years), treated by dialysis for 1 month to 30 years (a... |
29,295 | [Aspects of outcome and therapy of edematous branch retinal vein occlusion]. | The main cause of oedematous branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) vision loss is macular oedema persistence. We studied 18 patients having oedematous branch retinal vein occlusion. An ophthalmologic exam completed with angiography and etiologic assessment were performed. Argon Laser macular grid photocoagulation was pe... |
29,296 | [Interaction of hypoxia and haemostasis--hypoxia as a prothrombotic factor at high altitude?]. | For an extended period of time various research projects have been conducted on the relationship of hypoxia and haemostasis. The enclosed article contains the conclusion to which extent lack of oxygen can activate the coagulation system and induce a prothrombotic state. The majority of studies proved a shortening of co... |

29,298 | Laparoscopic ligation of the infrarenal vena cava in combination with transfemoral thrombin infusion: a new animal model of chronic deep venous thrombosis. | We describe a new technique to create an animal model of chronic venous thrombosis. The morphological and histological properties of the resulting thrombi are described.</AbstractText>Thirteen pigs underwent laparoscopic ligation of the infrarenal vena cava in combination with transfemoral thrombin infusion. After 1, 3... |
29,299 | [Vena cava filter -- is there an indication for implantation?]. | The indication of vena cava filter implantation is controversially discussed. On the basis of the available literature and our own results a critical analysis of this issue is given. Between 1994 and 2003, we inserted a total of 29 vena cava filters; 24 temporary and 5 permanent filters. In twelve patients, the placeme... |
