ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). MethodsThe clinical data of 496 patients with DVT who were treated in our hospital from January 2010 to October 2014 were analyzed retrospectively, to compare the time of venous pressure decreased to normal (T1) and time of circumference difference decreased to normal (T2) in patients received pure therapy (control group) and pure therapy combined with IPC (combination group), according to different types of patients in acute, sub-acute, and chronic phase. In addition, comparison of the remission rate of pulmonary embolism (PE), incidence of PE, and recurrence of DVT was performed between the control group and combination group too. Results① For DVT patients in acute stage, the time of T1 and T2 of patients in central type, peripheral type, and mixed type who received anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis/catheter thrombolysis+IPC, were significantly shorter than those patients who received only anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis/catheter thrombolysis (P<0.05). For DVT patients in sub-acute stage, the time of T1 and T2 of patients in central type and mixed type who received anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis+IPC, were significantly shorter than those of patients who received only anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis (P<0.05), the time of T1 of patients in peripheral type who received anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis+IPC, were significantly shorter than those of patients who received only anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis (P<0.01), but the time of T2 of patients in peripheral type didn't differed between patients who received only anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis and anticoagulant therapy/systemic thrombolysis +IPC (P>0.05). For DVT patients in chronic stage, the time of T1 and T2 of patients in central type and mixed type didn't differed between patients who received only anticoagulant therapy and anticoagulant therapy +IPC (P>0.05); the time of T1 of patients in peripheral type who received anticoagulant therapy+IPC, were significantly shorter than those of patients who received only anticoagulant therapy (P<0.05), but the time of T2 didn't differed with each other (P>0.05). ② There were 63 patients in control group and 47 patients in combination group had PE before treatment. After the treatment, the PE symptom of control group relieved in 56 patients (88.89%, 56/63) and maintained in 7 patients (11.11%, 7/63), the symptom of combination group relieved in 44 patients (93.62%, 44/47) and maintained in 3 patients (6.38%, 3/47), so the remission rate of PE symptom in combination group was higher (P<0.05). There were 6 patients suffered from new PE in control group[4.26% (6/141)] and 0 in combination group[0 (0/245)] after treatment in patients who hadn't PE before treatment, and the incidence of PE was lower in combination group (P<0.05). ③ There were 325 patients were followed up for 3-36 months with the median time of 27 months, including 157 patents in control group and 168 patients in combination group. During the follow-up period, 74 patients recurred[47.13% (74/157)] in control group and 46 patients recurred[27.38% (46/168)] in combination group, and the recurrence rate was lower in combination group (P<0.05). In addition, 41 patients suffered from post-thrombotic syndrome[26.11% (41/157)] in control group and 27 patients[16.07% (27/168)] in combination group, and the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome was lower in combination group (P<0.05). ConclusionsIPC can significantly shorten the time of venous pressure and the circumference difference decreased to normal for DVT patients in acute stage and majority DVT patients in sub-acute stage, and it can relieve the clinical symptoms of PE, reduce the incidence rate of PE and recurrence rate of DVT. Therefore, IPC is a safe, reliable, and effective treatment for DVT patients in acute stage and majority DVT patients in sub-acute stage.

ObjectiveTo analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) after percutaneous aortic valve replacement using balloon-expandable valve (Sapien3, S3). Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 62 patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing percutaneous aortic valve replacement using S3 in our center from September 2020 to June 2022. Patients with a history of vascular atherosclerosis or with significant increase or insignificant decrease of aortic valve flow or gradient pressure during follow-up were selected for CT examination. Results A total of 26 patients were finally included, with an average age of 70.31±8.90 years, and the male proportion was higher (n=15, 57.69%). Among them, 5 patients had SLT. Compared with the non-SLT group, patients in the SLT group were older (68.52±8.80 years vs. 77.80±4.66 years, P=0.007). The age factor (≥75 years) and the diameter of the ascending aorta were associated with SLT (both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of SLT is higher in the elderly patients. It is speculated that SLT is related to the characteristics of short balloon dilation valves and low blood flow dynamics of valve racks.
Inpatients after COVID-19 infection, especially those admitted to intensive care unit (ICU), may encounter a series of coagulation dysfunction, which may lead to thrombosis, such as pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial thrombosis (AT). Although there are many literatures on the incidence rate, prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection, there are few data on the symptomatic and subclinical incidence rate of VTE after COVID-19 infection discharge. Therefore, there are no specific recommendations or guidelines for the prevention of VTE after discharge from hospital due to COVID-19 infection, and the current guidelines are controversial. In this study, we reviewed and summarized the existing literature on the incidence rate, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with COVID-19 infection, in order to provide guidance for VTE prevention in patients with COVID-19 infection after discharge.
ObjectiveTo analyze the therapeutic effects of open surgery and endovascular treatment for mesenteric venous thrombosis.MethodsThe clinical data of 22 patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis from March 2005 to January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. One patient underwent open surgery including removal of necrotic small intestine and thrombectomy of superior mesenteric vein immediately admission to the hospital. Five cases were treated with simple anticoagulation and cured. Sixteen cases received thrombolytic therapy after primary anticoagulant therapy.ResultsOne case who underwent open surgery died of multiple organ failure at 72 h after the surgery. Five cases who received simple anticoagulant reached clinical relief finally. Sixteen patients who received thrombolytic therapy achieved recanalization totally or partially. Three cases died during follow-up (3 months to 7 years, average) of which 1 died of recurrence of acute superior mesenteric venous thrombosis, 1 died of myocardial infarction, and 1 died of stroke.ConclusionsFor patients with symptomatic mesenteric venous thrombosis, if there is no intestinal necrosis, there will be encouraging results by interventional thrombolytic therapy. And the treatment effect needs further experience accumulation in more cases.

Objective To establish a model of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in rats for dynamic study of antithrombotics or thrombolysis on thrombosis. Methods SD rats (n=60) were randomly divided into thrombosis model group (n=36), control group (n=18) and sham operation group (n=6). An improved method was used to make the inferior caval vein ligated in SD rats of thrombosis model group. After operation, rats in thrombosis model group and control group were divided into 6 period groups. The changes of thrombus and internal surface of vessels in each period were observed in thrombosis model group and were compared with those in other two groups, respectively. Results Stable venous thrombus were observed in all inferior caval vein in thrombosis model group, and the proximal part of venous thrombus was unobstructed and consistent with the pathological change of venous thrombosis during acute stage in human body. Conclusion The DVT model in rats was successfully established, which maybe helpful for dynamic study of the effect of antithrombotics or thrombolysis on thrombosis.
Objective To summarize the general situation of perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) and summarize the perioperative antithrombotic strategies. Methods Domestic and international literatures and guidelines on antithrombotic therapy were collect and reviewed. Results VTE was common during the perioperative period. Reasonable assessment of each patient’s condition during the perioperative period, as well as reasonable use of anticoagulant, antiplatelet drugs, and hemostatic agents could reduce the incidence of VTE events during the perioperative period. Conclusions Clinicians need to properly assess the timing of the usage and discontinuation of antithrombotic drugs, weigh the risk of thrombosis and bleeding, develop a rational and scientific antithrombotic strategy based on the specific circumstances of each patient. Simultaneously, hemostatic agents need to be prescribed perioperatively to reduce the incidence of thromboembolic complications.
Objective To explore the effect of xue-shuan-tong(panax notoginsang saponins,PNS)or isovalaemic haemodilution(IHD)and PNS combining IHD treatment on activities of fibrinolysis and hemorrheology in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Methods Seventy-three patients with RVO were allocated at random to 3 groups which were treated with PNS,IHD and PNS combining IHD.The activities of t-PA and PAI,rheological parameters and visual acuity before and after treatment were observed. Results At the end of treatment,significantly increased activity of t-PA and decrease of PAI was found in combined treatment group and PNS group,but the difference before and after treatment was not significant in IHD group.Furthermore,except the plasma viscosity in IHD group,the other hemorrheological parameters in all the petients of 3 groups revealed to be improving.One month after treatment,the parameters return completely to normal in both PNS and IHD groups; while the whole blood apparent relative viscosity in low shear rate,RBC aggregation and RBC deformability maintained still in lower level,and also the visual acuity resumed better and quicker in combined group. Conclusion Combined treatment of PNS and IHD can both regulate the activity of fibrinolysis and decrease the blood viscosity of patients with RVO for a period of relatively long time and increase the effect of treatment.

ObjectiveThis study was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy using the AngioJet System for the treatment of lower extremity acute arterial embolism and thrombosis.MethodsThe clinical data of 20 patients with acute lower extremity arterial embolism and thrombosis admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery in the People’s Hospital in Gansu Province where the author worked from September 2016 to March 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with the AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy system. Clinical data of the patients were retrospectively collected. The clinical efficacy of AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy wasanalyzed.ResultsEighteen (90.0%) of the 20 patients successfully completed the mechanical thrombectomy by using the AngioJet System. The mean time for hospital stay and operation was (4.2±1.4) d and (1.3±0.4) h, respectively. The average doses of urokinase and heparin during operation were (35.80±12.30) ×104 U and (45.10±8.30) mg, respectively. Two patients received a complementary treatment of incision for removing the thrombus. Two patients received catheter-directed thrombolysis after the mechanical thrombectomy, 5 patients received bare-metal stent implantation after balloon expansion. Clinical success was in 16 cases. According to the Cooley standard, 10 patients were in excellent condition,6 in good condition, 2 in fair condition, and 2 in poor condition. There were 2 cases of distal arterial embolization,2 cases of antecardial discomfort of bradycardia, and 4 cases of bleeding at the puncture point, but no serious bleeding complications such as gastrointestinal and intracranial hemorrhage occurred. A total of 16 patients presented myoglobinuria during and after operation. All patients were followed up for 6–12 months. The results of ultrasound examination showed that the artery was patency in 15 cases. One patient died of myocardial infarction in 9 months after surgery,2 patients developed lower extremity ischemia symptoms again after surgery, and 2 patients had lower extremity ulcer caused by lower extremity ischemia symptoms. During the follow-up period, no lower limb necrosis, amputation, and death occurred in the remaining patients.ConclusionsThe AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy system is safe and effective. Combined with the use of catheter-directed thrombolysis and stent implantation, the AngioJet mechanical thrombectomy could lead to quick recovery of the perfusion of the lower extremity and improve the limb salvage rates, exhibiting excellent clinical value.
