Autoři ve svém sdělení prezentují raritní případ po sobě jdoucí a synchronní plicní embolie a paradoxních embolizací do velkého oběhu. Ačkoli paradoxní embolie jsou relativně vzácnou příčinou ischemie v jakékoliv lokalizaci, musí se na tuto nosologickou jednotku pomýšlet vždy, když je nejasný původ tromboembolie, zejména v těch případech, kde je v předchorobí známa plicní embolie nebo je sonograficky verifikována končetinová flebotrombóza. V akutní fázi léčby je základem chirurgické nebo endovaskulární zajištění reperfuze ischemického orgánu a v dalším čase pak zajištění prevence další embolizační příhody především okluzí patentního foramen ovale.
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess occlusion rates of saphenous veins treated with the VariClose vein sealing system. Methods A retrospective analysis including a total of 64 patients from four centres from the Czech Republic. Occlusion was defined as a non-compressible vein with absence of flow with exception to the first 3 cm from the saphenofemoral or saphenopopliteal junction on duplex ultrasound. Results In 64 patients a total of 79 veins were treated. Technical success of the procedure was achieved in 74 (94%) of cases. The mean follow-up was 5.5 months. The closure rates calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months were 94%, 85%, 69% and 36%, respectively, and there were no significant differences between centers. The average difference in VCSS score before and after the procedure was 1.8. Conclusions The present study demonstrated surprisingly worse occlusion rates than the current literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
