Objective To evaluate the effect of early surgical treatment for primary lower limb varicose veins complicated by thrombophlebitis.Methods The clinical date of 42 patients with primary lower extremity varicose veins complicated by thrombophlebitis treated in 4 years were analyzed retrospectively.The CEAP classification was adopted to establish the diagnoses of the all patieats.In the early stage,high ligation and stripping of the varicase veins were performed.After removal of varicose veins and thrombi,both anti-inflammation therapy and anticoagulant therapy were applied.Results All patients made a good recovery.After surgery,3 patients had skin callous and swelling,and 3 patients had foot nerve paresthesia.But,no serious complications,such as deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism,were observed.The was no recurrence during 2 months to 4 years follow-up.Conclusions Early surgical treatment for primary lower limb varicose veins complicated by superficial thrombophlebitis not only has good results but also helps control of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism,and other serious complications that can result from superficial venous thrombosis.

Clinical application of inferior vena cava filter in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity / 中国普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the protection effect of inferior vena cava filter on pulmonary embolism in patients with deep venous thrombosis(DVT) of lower extremities. Methods Inferior vena cava filters were placed in 55 patients with DVT. Simon Nitiol filter(SNF) was used in 25 cases,Trap Ease filter(TEF) in 13 cases and Antheor Temporal filter(ATF) in 17 cases.10 patients with DVT were treated by non operation therapy,45 patients by operation and transluminal angioplasties.Whether patients occurred pulmonary embolism was observed clinically,and the form and site of SNF and TEF were monitored by periodic fluoroscopy . Results Inferior vena cava filter was placed successfully in all patients.Symptoms and signs of DVT disappeared in all the patients after treatment . None of the putients occurred pulmonary embolism in this series. One case occurred inferior vena cava thrombolism in 16 months after SNF placement. Thrombus attached to ATF after the ATF taking off from inferior vena cava was found in 17 cases.Conclusions Inferior vena cava filter placement is a simple, safe and efficient method to prevent pulmonary embolism in a short period.But its long term complications should be considered and investigated.
