Abstract:
Objective To discuss the curative effect and specificity of interventional therapy for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower limb in burned patients.Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with lower limb DVT after burn,including 7 males and 6 females with a median age of 46.1 years (37-67 years),were retrospectively analyzed.The causes of burn included flame burn (n=9),electric injury (n=2) and hydrothermal bum (n=2).The burned area was 1％-88％ of the total body surface,with a mean of (37.08± 30.60) ％.Lower limb DVT complicated by lower limb bum was observed in 11 patients,among them bum of both lower limbs was seen in 8 patients.Lower limb DVT associated with inhalation injury was found in 5 patients.Clinically,lower limb DVT was usually detected in 13-72 days after burn,with a mean of (38.69± 16.83) days.Interventional treatment was carried out in all 13 patients,and the curative effect was assessed.Results Technical success of interventional treatment was obtained in all 13 patients.Both inferior vena cava filter placement via right internal jugular vein approach (n=3) or via unaffected-side femoral vein approach (n=10) and anticoagulant therapy were conducted.Catheter-directed thrombolysis was employed in 7 patients,intravenous thrombolysis was adopted in 4 patients,and no thrombolysis therapy was used in 2 patients.No pulmonary embolism occurred.The curative effect rate of interventional treatment was 84.6％(11/ 13).Conclusion For the treatment of lower limb DVT after burn,interventional therapy is safe and reliable,but the selection of puncture site and the use or not use of indwelling catheter for thrombolysis should be carefully taken into consideration.
