Venous thrombosis

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. VTE is the leading cause of lost disability-adjusted life years and the third leading cause of cardiovascular death in the world. DVT leads to post-thrombotic syndrome, whereas pulmonary embolism can cause chronic pulmonary hypertension, both of which reduce ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis

Minerva Medica, 2022
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), yet a leading cause of stroke in young adults, with an incidence that seems to be increasing in recent years. Risk factors for CVT overlap with those of DVT in other locations, with the addition of local risk factors, such as infections, head trauma and neurosurgery.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Venous Thrombosis

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998
In recent years hyperhomocysteinemia has been established as a new risk factor for neural tube defects, arterial cardiovascular disease, and venous thrombosis. Concerning vascular problems, it first became clear that hyperhomocysteinemia might be (though not proven) a risk factor for arterial disease as observed in case-control studies, as well as in ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2003
Because of its wide range of presentations, its highly variable mode of onset, its numerous causes, and its unpredictable outcome, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Treatment of CVT consists primarily of symptomatic treatment of seizures and intracranial hypertension, antithrombotics, and etiologic ...

Travel and venous thrombosis

Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2002
Debate continues about whether and to what extent travel predisposes to venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE). Almost certainly, the strength of any association was greatly exaggerated in recent press reports. Conclusions from case-control studies vary, with some finding no excess of recent travel among patients with venous thromboembolism and ...

Pathogenesis of Venous Thrombosis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
To the Editor.— The authors wish to thank Matzger for his letter "Pathogenesis of Venous Thrombosis" ( 215 :799, 1971). Our agreement with Matzger is complete— the problem of thromboembolism is by no means resolved. However, we do not share his opinion that this subject is cloaked in mystery.

Pathogenesis of Venous Thrombosis

Chest, 1992
This brief review attempts to describe the present understanding of the pathogenesis of venous thrombosis in general with special reference to venous thromboembolism in spinal cord injury patients with paralysis. The component parts of Virchow's triad are examined.

Deep Venous Thrombosis

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2017
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a frequently encountered condition that is often diagnosed and treated in the outpatient setting. Risk stratification is helpful and recommended in the evaluation of DVT. An evidence-based diagnostic approach is discussed here. Once diagnosed, the mainstay of DVT treatment is anticoagulation.

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

Journal of Child Neurology, 2008
An early diagnosis and heparin therapy have contributed to a decreased mortality in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). However, predictors of outcome are difficult to identify, because most studies suffered heterogeneity in diagnostic findings and treatments, retrospective design, and recruitment bias.
