ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect and value of interventional therapy for post-thrombosis syndrome (PTS).Methods Clinical data of 91 patients with PTS who had received interventional therapy were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were in prone position in surgery.We selected puncture approach of popliteal vein and established a working guidewire channel, and then performed balloon dilatation and stent placement.Results The technical success rate was 98.9% (90/91), with complete recanalization of the stenosis or occluded vessel and restoration of the normal blood flow.There was 1 case of failure to traverse the left common iliac vein segment, but the collateral circulation was rich enough to compensate.The 90 patients were followed up for 6-30 months, with a mean of (18.5±2.3) months.The 6, 12, and 24-month patency rates were 93.3% (84/90), 81.3% (61/75), and 71.4%(20/28), respectively.No stent migration or ulcer recurrence occurred in the 90 patients during the follow-ups.Conclusion For the treatment of PTS, endovascular treatment has high technical success rate.With satisfactory clinical effect, this therapy is safe and effective.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo discuss the application of medical elastic stockings in nursing of patients with deep venous thrombosis formation. Methods62 patients diagnosed as acute lower limbs deep ve-nous thrombosis from January, 2005 to January, 2008 were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control groups with 31 patients in each group, the control group took general nursing measures, the experimental group used the medical elastic stockings based on the general care measures, The inci-dence of post- thrombosis syndrome was observed in two groups and underwent χ2 test. ResultsAfter two years follow- up, 2 patients relapsed and 3 patients appeared post- thrombosis syndrome in the experimental group, 8 patients relapsed and 10 patients had post-thrombosis syndrome in the control group. The relapse rate and incidence rate of peat-thrombosis syndrome in the control group were higher than those of the experimental group. ConclusionsThe use of medical elastic stockings can prevent acute lower limbs deep venous throm-bosis, and can reduce the symptoms of post-thrombosis syndrome, which deserves to be spread widely.
