为了解我国南方地区肺栓塞的现状,通过检索中国医院数字图书馆近9年(1999年～2008年)南方地区正式发表的与肺栓塞和深静脉血栓有关的论文共1288篇,进行了统计分析,发现:1、中国南方地区肺栓塞的发现数量逐年增加,且增幅明显;2、诊断水准达到一定程度的部分南方医院,诊断治疗肺栓塞的数量明显高于其他医院,并不比中国北方同类医院低;3、肺栓塞的漏诊、误诊现象依然普遍存在,提高认知和诊治水准仍然是今后工作的方向。
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) combined with anticoagulation (AC) and AC in the treatment of acute proximal deep venous thrombosis (APDVT) of the lower extremities. MethodsThe clinical data of 184 APDVT patients treated in Guizhou Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. According to the treatment methods, the patients were divided into CDT group (n=82, CDT combined with AC) and AC group (n=102, AC alone). The prognosis indicators such as the incidence of bleeding events, the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), Villalta score, venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and chronic lower limb venous insufficiency questionnaire (CIVIQ) score were compared between the two groups. ResultsCompared with the AC group, the CDT group had a higher incidence of bleeding events [11.0% (9/82) vs. 2.9% (3/102)], a shorter time to detumescent [(2.8±1.2) d vs. (7.2±1.9) d], and lower VS score [3 (2,4) vs. 3 (2, 7)], VCSS score [2.0 (1.7, 4.0) vs. 3.0 (2.0, 5.2)] and postoperative venous patency score [1 (1, 2) vs. 2 (1, 3)], and higher CIVIQ score [80.0 (77.0, 86.0) vs. 71.5 (68.0, 78.0)], P<0.05. However, there were no significant differences in the incidence of PTS [28.2% (22/78) vs. 36.5% (35/96)] and thrombosis recurrence rate [9.0% (7/78) vs. 11.5% (11/96)] between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionCDT can relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life of APDVT faster than AC, but it is necessary to strictly grasp the indications of thrombolysis to reduce the risk of bleeding.
ObjectiveTo explore the value of recombinant inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) in the prevention of perioperative pulmonary embolism in patients with lower limb or pelvic fracture combined with deep venous thrombosis (DVT).MethodsThe clinical data of 168 patients with lower limb or pelvic fracture combined with DVT were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe filters were successfully implanted in 168 patients, and the recoverable filters were removed after (48.3±4.8) d (14–97 d). The filters were removed successfully in 159 cases, and the removal rate was 94.6%. Sixty-one cases were found to have thrombus on the filter after contrast examination or removal of vena cava filter, that is, the thrombus interception rate was 36.3%.ConclusionFor patients with lower limb or pelvic fracture combined with DVT, the rechargeable vena cava filter can effectively stop thrombosis and avoid pulmonary embolism.
Objective To explore the causal association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Methods Using the summary statistical data from the FinnGen biological sample library and IEU OpenGWAS database, the relationship between OSA and VTE, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, was explored through Mendelian randomization (MR) method, with inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the main analysis method. Results The results of univariate MR analysis using IVW method showed that OSA was associated with VTE and pulmonary embolism (P<0.05), with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of 1.204 (1.067, 1.351) and 1.352 (1.179, 1.544), respectively. There was no correlation with DVT (P>0.05). Multivariate MR analysis showed that after adjustment for confounding factors (smoking, diabetes, obesity and cancer), OSA was associated with VTE, DVT and pulmonary embolism (P<0.05), with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of 1.168 (1.053, 1.322), 1.247 (1.064, 1.491) and 1.158 (1.021, 1.326), respectively. Conclusion OSA increases the risk of VTE, DVT, and pulmonary embolism.
Objective To analyze inducing factors and clinical characteristics of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and to explore clinical value of soluble cell surface differentiation antigen 40 ligand (sCD40L) in early diagnosis of DVT. Methods The patients with the DVT of lower extremity who had not received the anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy in the Nanchong Central Hospital from January 2012 to January 2017 were collected, these patients were divided into an early-acute stage, mid-acute stage, late-acute stage, and subacute stage according to the clinical course of DVT. The sCD40L expression in the peripheral blood of DVT patients were detected by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results There were 100 patients with the DVT were included, including 31 cases of early-acute stage, 26 cases of mid-acute stage, 21 cases of late-acute stage, and 22 cases of subacute stage; 66 patients with the peripheral type, 28 patients with the central type, and 6 patients with the mixed type. ① The fracture, malignant tumor, long time in the bed following the thoracic or abdominal operation, joint replacement, and caesarean section were the successively main risk factors of the DVT. ② The early-acute stage of DVT was more common in the fracture patients, the mid- and late-acute stage of DVT often occurred in the joint replacement sufferer, and the subacute stage of DVT was usually found in the malignant tumor patients. ③ The sCD40L expression in the patients with the different stage DVT was signifiantly higher than that in the control group (20 healthy people in the physical examination, P<0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the different stage DVT patients (F=26.57, P=0.02), that is, the expression of sCD40L was the highest in the early-acute stage of DVT, and then gradually reduced (P<0.05). ④ The sCD40L expression had a significant difference among the central type DVT, mixed type DVT, and peripheral type DVT (F=12.51, P=0.02), which in the peripheral type DVT was significantly higher than that of the central type DVT (P<0.05) and mixed type DVT (P<0.05), but had no difference between the central type DVT and the mixed type DVT (P>0.05). ConclusionsCD40L might act as a blood index of early diagnosis and judgement of extent of DVT, especially be helpful in early-acute stage of DVT.
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors,characteristics and prognosis in Tibetan patients with venous thromboembolism. MethodsTibetan patients with VTE from plateau area,admitted in West China Hospital from January 2010 to December 2012,were recruited in the study. The VTE diagnosis was confirmed by CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) or vascular ultrasound examination. Risk factors,clinical symptoms,signs and laboratory tests were retrospectively investigated and follow-up by telephone interview was conducted. Results31 Tibetan VTE patients with 16 males and 15 females were included. The investigation of risk factors revealed that 15 patients suffered from obese(48.3%),10 patients suffered from highly viscous hyperlipidemia(32.3%). The most common clinical symptom was dyspnea(29%),followed by chest pain(19.4%),hemoptysis(16.1%) and cough(12.9%). The common signs were lower extremity edema(73.3%) and lung rale(36.7%). All the patients received anticoagulation therapy,and inferior vena caval filters were implanted in 2 patients. In two years' follow-up after discharge,2 patients died of tumor,2 died of pulmonary embolism,6 patients suffered from chronic embolization syndrome with lower extremity edema or pain,1 patient suffered from pulmonary hypertension after embolization,and thrombus in 20 patients disappeared or recanalized. ConclusionTibetans long-termly reside in high altitude areas with the eating habits of high-fat diet,which may increase the incidence of acquired risk factors such as viscous hyperlipidemia and obesity. There are no specific clinical symptoms and signs among Tibetan VTE patients,with dyspnea as the most common symptom and lower extremity edema as the most common sign. Patients with risk factors which can be eliminated in a short term have better prognosis.
ObjectiveTo summarize diagnostic strategies of unilateral lower limb swelling. MethodThe clinical data of 357 patients hospitalized with unilateral lower limb swelling from March 2013 to October 2014 in our department were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThree hundred and seven (86.0%) patients were admitted to hospital within 2 weeks since the symptom onset (acute swelling), the most common cause (281 cases) was lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), other causes included infection (11 cases), hematoma (7 cases), lymphatic obstruction (4 cases), iliac vein compression syndrome (2 cases), pelvic tumor compression (1 case), arteriovenous fistula (1 case). Etiology for chronic swelling contained lower extremity DVT (33 cases), arteriovenous fistula (5 cases), lymphatic obstruction (5 cases), Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (3 cases), pelvic tumor compression (3 cases), iliac vein compression syndrome (1 case). Up to 60.5% (26/43) lower limb swelling which were not due to DVT had histories of misdiagnosis as DVT. Nine cases of lymphatic obstruction were secondary to malignant tumor itself or the sequel of treatment. Three hundred and thirty-eight (94.6%) patients were received lower limb doppler ultrasound, while 308 patients (91.9%) were diagnosed. Fifty-nine patients needed further CT venography (CTV) or CT angiography (CTA), 10 patients were received radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy to be diagnosed. ConclusionsAlthough DVT is the main cause of unilateral lower limb swelling, the lower limb swelling which is not due to DVT is frequently misdiagnosed and belatedly treated. Considering the complexity and reciprocal overlapping for the etiology of lower limbs swelling, developing a appropriate diagnosis strategy is important. Apart from history taking and physical examination, color doppler ultrasound for the lower limb is suggested to be the preferred imaging examination mean. Pelvic cavity screening for occupancy lesions and iliac vein should be evaluated synchronously if possible. For cases which can't be diagnosed by ultrasound, CTV, CTA, or radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy could be important supplement to assist the diagnosis.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the treatment effective of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of low extremities. MethodsThe clinical data of 86 patients with DVT were analyzed retrospectively, which were divided into thromboectomy group (12 patients) and thrombolysis group (74 patients) according to the therapy methods. The thromboectomy group patients were treated by thromboectomy using Fogarty balloon catheter plus thrombolytie, thrombolysis group patients were treated by thrombolysis (urokinase or antithrombus enzyme of viper). ResultsThere were 8 cases healed, 4 cases relieved, 0 invalidated in the thromboectomy group and 15 cases healed, 50 cases relieved, 9 cases invalidated in the thrombolysis group at discharge. During 3-100 months of following up with an average 27 months, 10 cases and 62 cases were examined by Bultrasonic in the thromboectomy group and thrombolysis group, respectively, 6 cases were not damaged in the function of valves of the thromboectomy group, 9 cases were not damaged in the function of valves of the thrombolysis group. The rates of acute response, longtime patency, and normal valve in the thromboectomy group were higher than those in the thrombolysis group (Plt;0.05), the rate of post-thrombotic syndrome in the thromboectomy group was lower than that in the thrombolysis group (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsEarly thromboectomy is an effective way of restoring the fluency of deep vein and protecting the efficiency of the vein value organization, and reducing the sequela of DVT. Thrombolysis can only relieve the symptomation, but it can not protect the crawling and relapsing of thrombus.
ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of perioperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremities and its risk factors in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. Methods The clinical data of 4 109 elderly patients with femoral neck fracture admitted between August 2012 and November 2020 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 1 137 males and 2 972 females; their ages ranged from 65 to 101 years, with an average of 77.0 years. The time from fracture to admission ranged from 1 to 360 hours, with an average of 35.2 hours. There were 1 858 cases of hemiarthroplasty, 1 617 cases of total hip arthroplasty, and 634 cases of internal fixation surgery. The preoperative age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI) was 4 (3, 5). Perioperative DVT occurred in 857 cases (20.9%). Univariate analysis was performed on age, gender, body mass index, fracture side, time from fracture to admission, operation type, anesthesia type, blood transfusion, blood pressure after admission, and preoperative aCCI in patients with and without perioperative DVT, and logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of perioperative DVT in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. ResultsUnivariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, gender, time from fracture to admission, operation type, and preoperative aCCI between the two groups (P<0.05). Further logistic regression analysis showed that age>75 years, female patients, time from fracture to admission>24 hours, and preoperative aCCI>5 were risk factors for perioperative DVT (P<0.05). Conclusion Elderly patients with femoral neck fracture have a higher incidence of perioperative DVT. The advanced aged and female patients, patients with longer fracture time and more comorbidities need to pay special attention to the prevention of perioperative DVT to minimize the occurrence of DVT during femoral neck fractures.
