Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the utilization of surgical interventions in patients diagnosed with superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) and its potential association with the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding events.
Methods: INSIGHTS-SVT, a prospective, non-interventional, multicenter study in Germany, investigated the management and outcomes of patients with acute SVT who received conservative and/or invasive treatments at the discretion of the treating physician.
Results: Among the 872 patients with 12-month data, 657 had medical therapy only, and 215 patients underwent vascular surgery (70 within 3 months of SVT diagnosis, 136 between months 4 and 12, and nine had an intervention in both periods).
Background: After an acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limb, 20% to 63% of patients develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). In this review, we address the efficacy of compression therapy in the treatment of acute DVT of the lower limb, and for the prevention of PTS.
Methods: 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and one meta-analysis, with a total of 3751 patients, were identified in a structured literature search.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the treatment and outcomes of popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) in women, who make up only 5% of PAA patients, highlighting the lack of extensive evidence in this area.
- Data was collected from the POPART Registry, a large European registry involving 42 centers, examining clinical presentation and surgical outcomes since 2010.
- Findings revealed that female patients had smaller aneurysms and higher rates of symptoms before surgery, along with increased complications like impaired wound healing and the need for additional procedures post-surgery compared to men.
Objective: Long term incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding events in patients with superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) was investigated.
Methods: In this prospective, observational study, patients with acute SVT were treated at the discretion of the responsible physician. The primary efficacy outcome was symptomatic VTE including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and recurrent or extending SVT.
