Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic results of embolectomy and thrombolysis for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in 165 patients. Methods Embolectomy was undertaken with Fogarty catheter in 64 patients while 101 patients were treated by thrombolytic agents. Results Ninety-six cases (58.2%) were followed-up, ranging from 7 months to 218 months with an averge of 71 months including 44 cases undergoing embolectomy and 52 cases receiving thrombolytic agents. Symptoms disappeared in 20.5% of patients in embolectomy group and in 13.5% in thrombolytic group.In embolectomy group,the superficial varicoses and derma pigmentation in lower extremity appeared in 31.8% of patients,while in thrombolytic group the signs appeared in 50.5% of patients, respectively.Conclusions Embolectomy protecting the valve of deep trunk vein in some patients helps to reduce later complications of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.
