Abstract:
Objective To report deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after greater saphenous vein ligation and stripping and to evaluate diagnosis,treatment and prophylaxis. Methods The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of 12 inpatients with postoperative DVT were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of these 12 cases there were 7 cases of central type DVT,2 cases of peripheral DVT,and 3 cases of mixed type DVT.Secondary pulmonary embolism was complicated in 2 cases.Clinical symptoms in these 10 cases of proximal DVT were all severe.Catheter-directed thrombolysis(CDT) through the ipsilateral popliteal vein with protective(IV)CF was applied for these 10 cases.Of 10 cases,femoral vein was found ligated in 1 case,which was repaired under open surgery. Residual greater saphenous vein thrombus extending into deep vein was proved and managed by successful thrombolectomy in one case.Cockett syndrome were found as the causes in the other 8 cases,6 cases were treated with balloon dilatation angioplasty and endovascular stenting of the iliac vein.The 2 cases of with distal DVT were treated by anticoagulation therapy.All patients were cured. Conclusions Cockett syndrome,femoral vein injury and too long residual greater saphenous vein are common causes of DVT after greater saphenous vein ligation and tripping.Careful selection of cases,correct diagnosis,standard operative manipulation,early ambulation were all important in the prevention of DVT after great saphenous vein varix procedure.
