Objective To analyze the clinical features and risk factors of isolated calf deep vein thrombosis (ICDVT).Methods Age,gender,locations,clinical symptoms,and risk factors of the hospitalized patients who diagnosed with ICDVT in the Department of Vascular Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 122 hospitalized ICDVT patients were enrolled,accounting for 25.7% of the patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.Among them,41 cases (33.6%) were male,81 cases(66.4%) were female.The average age was 56.41 ±13.87 years.49 cases (40.0%) had left lower limb ICDVT,39 cases (32.0%) had right lower limb ICDVT;34 cases (28.0%) had both two lower limbs involved.Muscular calf vein thrombosis accounted for 77.9% (95 cases).76 cases (62.3%) were painful.91 cases (74.6%) had swelling.Common risk factors included age (≥ 45 years) (85.2%),deficiency of natural anticoagulants (83.0%),surgery (45.9%) and malignant tumors (28.7%).Conclusions Pain and swelling were the main clinical symptoms of ICDVT.Age ≥ 45 years,deficiency of natural anticoagulants,surgery,and malignancy were main risk factors of ICDVT.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis,treatment and outcomes of femoral vein compression by the synovial cyst of the hip joint.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 13 patients with femoral vein compression from the hip joint synovial cyst between March 2010 and June 2017.Results All the patients received Doppler ultrasound exam.Five (38%) patients received CT.Eight (61.6%) patients received MRI.Surgeries were performed and successful in 12 cases,the synovial cysts were completely removed.All postoperative pathologic results were confirmed as synovial cyst.The median follow-up time was 24 months without recurrence.One patient treated by percutaneous needle aspiration suffered from early cyst recurrence one month after the procedure.Conclusions Surgical excision is the preferred treatment method,postoperative symptoms improve significantly without cyst recurrence.
