[Lower limb vein thrombosis in dynamics of acute impairments of cerebral circulation].

The present work was aimed at studying the state of the inferior vena cava system according to the findings of duplex scanning in dynamics of acute cerebral circulation impairments (ACCI). Amongst 100 patients with ACCI, lower limb vein deep thrombosis (LLVDT) was revealed in 57% of cases. The incidence of LLVDT in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage was higher than in those with ischaemic stroke, however there were no statistically significant differences between the type of ACCI (p=0.

[Prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism after severe stroke].

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a deep and superficial thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a very important problem of severe stroke. Pulmonary embolism (PE) significantly influences the course and outcome of severe stroke. The cause of this effect lies not only in severe patient's condition, high risk of VTE and difficulties in diagnosis of VTE but in still common limits in prophylaxis and treatment of PE in severe stroke, first of all, in brain hemorrhages and large brain infarctions with secondary hemorrhage.
