Frequency of venous thromboses and thromboembolic complications was retrospectively analyzed in 95 patients with intracranial hemorrhage of various etiology. Thrombosis of inferior caval vessels was registered in 19 (20%) patients; of them 3 patients had thromboembolism of a pulmonary artery, lethal in one case. The high frequency of venous thromboses indicates the necessity of early use of anticoagulants in treatment dosages and importance of the prophylaxis measures. Cava-filter implantation for pulmonary artery thromboembolism prevention should be considered only in patients with strong contraindications for anticoagulant therapy.
