Objective: To explore significance of preoperative color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) for screening deep vein thrombosis in upper limbs fracture.
Methods: From January 2009 to December 2011, 1200 patients with upper limb fracture caused by trauma were respectively analyzed. There were 833 males and 367 females,ranging from 20 to 78 (mean 41.94 +/- 15.41) years. All patients had swelling and pain in injured limbs when enrolled. CDFI was used to examine upper limbs vein at 3 to 10 d after improvement of swelling, 1 day before reduction. Relationship among occurrence of thrombosis, gender, age and fracture sites were analyzed. Patients with DVT were analyzed with respective study to decide whether combined with diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
Results: All patients were checked by CDFI,which confirmed 9 cases with DVT. The rate of thrombosis was 0.75%, women than men (P < 0.01). The risk of blood clots occurred over 30 years, and the occurrence of thrombosis in humerus fracture was higher than radius ulnar fracture. One of 9 patients combined with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, 1 case combined with diabetes, and 7 cases with no complication.
Conclusion: Upper trauma fracture may occur deep vein thrombosis; CDFI should be used to check DVT in qualified hospital,which can maintain medical safety,decrease occurrence of medical disputes, and ganrantee patient's safety.

Background: This study analyzed the expression and diagnostic value of hsa_circ_101209 in plasma of pregnant women with in deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Methods: By circRNA microarray detection and GO/KEGG analysis, hsa_circ_14797 targeting miRNA-mRNA network was predicted. Sixty women with DVT were selected as the DVT group, and 60 women without DVT as the non-DVT group.

Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome (IVCS) is a common risk factor for deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. The objective of this study was to investigate whether employing a porous medium model to simulate the compressed region of an iliac vein could improve the reliability and accuracy of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis outcomes of IVCS. Pre-operative Computed Tomography (CT) scan images of patients with IVCS were utilized to reconstruct models illustrating both the compression and collateral circulation of the iliac vein.

Interventional therapies to relieve chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) fail through inability to penetrate, cross, and remove the occlusion. Development of suitable tools requires fundamental understanding of chronic DVT mechanical properties and a reliable model for testing. Female farm swine underwent a novel, endovenous generation of long-segment unilateral iliac vein thrombosis.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety profiles of rivaroxaban compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in managing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) subsequent to thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery.
Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery were randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group comprising 30 patients treated with rivaroxaban, and the control group consisting of 30 patients treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The fundamental clinical characteristics of patients in both groups were documented, encompassing parameters, along with pre- and post-surgical lower limb vascular ultrasound findings.

Background: α-Klotho may involve in the occurrence and development of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the underlying relationship between circulating α-Klotho levels and VTE is still unclear.
Methods: This two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) study aims to explore the causal associations of circulating α-Klotho levels with different types of venous thromboembolism.
