Incidence and severity of postthrombotic syndrome after iliofemoral thrombosis - results of the Iliaca-PTS - Registry.

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and in particular, iliofemoral thrombosis (IFT) can lead to recurrent thrombosis and postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). Data on the prevalence, predictors and outcome of IFT are scarce. We retrospectively searched our database of outpatients who had presented with DVT and IFT including the iliac veins from 2014 until 2017.

Influence of clonidine induced sympathicolysis on anaemia tolerance in anaesthetized pigs.

Background: Clonidine effectively decreases perioperative mortality by reducing sympathetic tone. However, application of clonidine might also restrict anaemia tolerance due to impairment of compensatory mechanisms. Therefore, the influence of clonidine induced, short-term sympathicolysis on anaemia tolerance was assessed in anaesthetized pigs.

Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and malignant disease.

Background: Inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVCT) is a rare event, and studies detailing its underlying aetiologies are scarce.

Methods: One hundred and forty-one IVCT patients (57% females, median age 47 years) were analysed with a focus on malignancy-related thrombosis and compared with 141 age- and sex-matched control patients with isolated lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis.

Results: Malignancies were more prevalent among IVCT patients compared with the control group (39% vs.
