Abstract

To analyze localizations of duplex ultrasonography-diagnosed lower-limb venous thrombosis in young women in hormonal periods in order to optimize the ultrasound exploration. From 42,018 standardized ultrasonography report forms, incremented in a database (January 2001 - July 2013), those performed for a first diagnosis of venous thrombosis in women ≤ 45 years were selected (n = 996). Among those, diagnosed venous thrombosis (n = 172) were classified into three groups: oral contraception (n = 74), pregnancy (n = 39) and post-partum period (n = 59). Clinical symptoms and thrombosis distribution were analyzed. In the contraception group, pulmonary symptoms at presentation were much more frequent than in the obstetrical group: 69% vs 20% (P < 0.001). The thrombosis was limited to the iliac veins in 31% (23/74) and to the left internal iliac vein in six patients. During pregnancy, the thrombosis was limited to the iliac veins in 28% (11/39), and to the left internal iliac vein in two patients. In the post-partum period, superficial venous thromboses were found more frequently (37/59). Among the 22 deep venous thromboses, nine were limited to the proximal segment, including four in the vena cava coming from a right ovarian vein throm...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
