Point-of-care two-point compression ultrasonography has evolved as a quick and effective way of diagnosing DVT. The purpose of this study is to validate the prevalence and distribution of venous thrombi isolated to proximal lower extremity veins, other than common femoral and popliteal veins in patients with DVT.METHODS: This is a single-center retrospective study that looked at patients presenting to the ED of a tertiary care hospital between January 2014 and August 2018. The clinical presentation and laboratory and imaging results were obtained using the hospital's electronic medical record.RESULTS: A total of 2,507 patients underwent a lower extremity duplex ultrasound during the study period. Among them, 379(15%) were included in the study. The percentages of isolated thrombi to the femoral vein and deep femoral vein were 7.92% and 0.53%, respectively. When the patients were stratified into the two groups of isolated DVT and two-point compression DVT, there were no statistically significant differences in the laboratory results between both groups. However, immobilized patients and patients with recent surgeries were more likely to have an isolated DVT.CONCLUSIONS: Thrombi isolated to proximal lower extremity veins other than the common femoral and popliteal veins make up 8.45% of DVTs. Given this significant number of missed DVTs, the authors recommend the addition of the femoral and deep femoral veins to the two-point compression exam.展开更多

Up to now, the majority of data has come from a retrospective study about the correlation between DVT and iliac vein compression. This prospective study was to detemline the incidence of DVT in individuals with iliac vein compression and identify risk factors predictive of DVT. Methods： A total of 500 volunteers without symptoms of venous diseases of lower extremities and overt risk factors of deep venous thrombosis between October 2011 and September 2012 in Shijitan Hospital were enrolled in this cohort study. All the participants underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography （CT） to evaluate lilac vein compression. Baseline demographic information and degree of iliac vein compression were collected. They were categorized into ≥50% or 〈50% iliac vein compression group. Ultrasound examination was pertbrmed to screen DVT at the time of CT examination and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months alter the examination. Primary event was DVT of ipsilateral lower extremity. Correlation between DVT and iliac vein compression was estimated by multivariate Logistic regression alter adjusting for age, gender, malignancy, surgery/immobilization, chemotherapy/hormonal therapy, and pregnancy. Results： In 500 volunteers, 8.8% （44） had 〉50% iliac vein compression and 91.2% （456） had 〈50% lilac vein compression, lpsilateral DVT occurred in six volunteers including two in iliofemoral vein, two in popliteal vein, and two in calf vein within 1 year. Univariate analysis showed that the incidence of DVT was 6.8% in 〉_50% compression group, significantly higher than that in 〈50% compression group （0.7%） （Х^2= - 12.84, P 0.01）. Patients with malignancy had significantly higher incidence of DVT than those without malignancy （Х^2 = 69.60, P〈 0.01 ）. Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that iliac vein compression and malignancy were independent risk factors of DVT. Alter adjustment for malignancy, patients with ≥50% iliac vein compression had 10-fold increased risk of developing DVT （adjusted relative risk [RR] = 10.162, 95% confidence interval [CI]： 1.149-89.865, P = 0.037）. In subgroup analysis, patients with malignancy and -〉50% iliac vein compression had 12-fold increased the risk of DVT than those without malignance and ≥50% compression （RR = 12.389, 95% CI： 2.327-65.957, P-0.003）. Conclusions： lliac vein compression is common, but the incidence of DVT is low. Only individuals with ≥50% lilac vein compression or compression combined with other risk factors might have significantly increased the risk of DVT. Further study is recommended to improve prevention strategies for DVT in significant iliae vein compression.展开更多
