Short-term curative effect of 40 arterial and venous obstruction cases treated by ultrasound thrombus ablation operation / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore micro-trauma and hig h effective method in treating arterial and venous obstruction diseases. Methods Seven patients with lower limbs arterial sclerosis obstruction (ASO) and 33 patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) had been treated by ultrasound thrombus ablation. The short-term curative effects were observed. Results All patients achieved vessels recanalization without puncture. Arterial straightness of seven ASO cases was reduced from 93%?12% to 35%?6%. While observing from angiogram, their symptoms and signs ameliorated remarkably. Venous straightness in thirty-three DVT patients was reduced from 100% to 28%?8% by observing from angiogram and disappearance of their limb tumidness. Conclusions Ultrasound thrombus ablation is an effective , safe and micro-trauma method for arterials and venous obstructive diseases.
