[Doppler echographic diagnosis in postthrombotic syndrome]. / Doplerograficheskaia diagnostika posttromboticheskogo sindroma.

On the basis of rich experience and the elaborated techniques of study, the authors claim that ultrasonic doppler echography is a highly informative and safe method for the diagnosis of the postthrombotic syndrome of the lower limbs yielding all the necessary data on the condition of the superficial and deep veins. The introduction of this method into the wide practice of out-patient clinics will make it possible to recognize the disease in time and determine its stage and form as well as the indications for operative or nonoperative treatment. The use of highly sensitive apparatuses will allow phlebography, which is still a necessary diagnostic procedure, to be rejected as a more hazardous and costly method.

[Non-invasive methods of diagnosis of chronic venous pathology of the lower extremities]. / Neinvazivnye metody diagnostiki khronicheskoi patologii ven nizhnikh konechnostei.

Experience with ultrasonic investigation of venous abnormalities in the legs has suggested that combined use of dopplerography, doppler scanning and echolocation techniques can adequately replace conventional radiopaque phlebography in most cases of varicose veins and post-thrombotic disease. This combination has high diagnostic value.

[Intraoperative Doppler testing of the efficacy of correcting the valves of deep veins with a framework coil]. / Intraoperatsionnyi dopplerovskii kontrol' za éffektivnost'iu korrektsii klapanov glubokikh ven karkasnoi spiral'iu.

The ultrasonic dopplerography was used in 37 patients as control of correction of profound vein valves. Local anesthesia was used in 12 patients, general anesthesia was used in 25 patients. The first group of patients performed the Valsalva test themselves, in the second group it was substituted by manual compression of the frontal abdominal wall. The results obtained show that intraoperative dopplerography allows methodological and technical errors to be corrected during the operation. The control is found to be more effective provided that the patient performs the Valsalva test himself during correction of the valve. The routine method of selection of the spiral diameter is thought to be fairly rational.
