Background: In this article, we report the ultrasound aspects and recanalization rates of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs treated with the rivaroxaban, focusing on the recanalization rate and the ultrasonographic aspects.
Methods: This was a prospective and consecutive cohort study of patients admitted with DVT who were submitted to treatment with rivaroxaban for 6 months at the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual, São Paulo, Brazil, between March 2016 and July 2018.
Results: Fifty-one patients with DVT were admitted to the Vascular Surgery Department and received rivaroxaban for 6 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the outcomes of patients with deep venous thrombosis treated with rivaroxaban or warfarin, focusing on recanalization rates and postthrombotic syndrome incidence.
- It involved 88 patients, with 84 evaluated after exclusions, and showed a significant difference in outcomes between the two treatment groups after a follow-up of 360 days.
- Rivaroxaban resulted in a higher rate of total venous recanalization and lower incidence of postthrombotic syndrome compared to warfarin, indicating it may be a more effective treatment option.
Objectives: In this paper, we report the long-term outcomes of the endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal occlusive disease, focusing on the importance of calcification and runoff outflow on limb salvage and patency, and the factors associated with these outcomes at a single center.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with femoropopliteal occlusive who underwent femoropopliteal angioplasty at the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual, São Paulo, Brazil, between January 2015 and July 2017.
Results: In total, 86 femoropopliteal occlusive angioplasties were performed in 86 patients, with an initial technical success rate of 95.
