Venous ultrasonography findings and clinical correlations in 104 Thai patients with chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.

Introduction: The pattern of venous reflux in Thai patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) was studied in correlation with clinical manifestations.

Methods: Ultrasonography findings and clinical data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed.

Results: CVI was found in 104 legs of 79 patients (mean age 59.

Clinical Characteristics of Thai Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) Patients.

Objective: To study the demographic and clinical presentations as assessed by Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and Venous Disability Score (VDS) in Thai Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) patients.

Material And Method: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data

Results: There were 78 CVI patients (102 legs) with the mean age of 59.6 years and 42% spending more than 75% of working hours upright.

Total superficial vein reflux eradication in the treatment of venous ulcer.

Unlabelled: Total superficial vein reflux eradication in the treatment of venous ulcer.

Background: Our initial experience with groin-knee vein stripping resulted in recurrent or unhealed venous ulcers prompting us to remove the entire reflux segment with emphasis on the calf superficial vein adjacent to, or underneath the ulcer. This study aims to assess the healing and recurrent rates after treatment with this technique combined with compression therapy.

The rate and mortality of postoperative venous thromboembolism of moderate risk surgery in Asian patients without thrombo-prophylaxis: systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: The general gynecologic and neurologic surgeries are regard as carrying moderate risk for postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). This review analyzed the postoperative VTE rate of these surgeries in Asia.

Methods: Inclusion criteria were: prospective study; deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosed by venography, ultrasonography, or radionucleotide scan; and no thromboprophylaxis.

Systematic review and meta-analysis on the rate of postoperative venous thromboembolism in orthopaedic surgery in Asian patients without thromboprophylaxis.

Background: Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common life-threatening complication after surgery. This review analysed the rate and mortality of VTE after orthopaedic surgery in Asia.

Methods: Inclusion criteria were: prospective study; deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosed by venography or ultrasonography; hip fracture surgery (HFS), total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA); and no thromboprophylaxis.
