“…Findings with US are similar to that of a DVT in other segments, including loss of venous compressibility, venous dilatation, lack of flow on Doppler study, and intraluminal content leading to filling defects (Figures 2-4) [1,2,4,8]. Laboratory tests include D-dimer levels, which are known to be highly sensitive but not very specific, with a high negative predictive value (NPV) for the presence of DVT [16]. Measuring D-dimer in the acute setting in patients at low risk of DVT (assessed clinically) can help exclude this diagnosis.…”

“…The pathogenesis for PVT is still uncertain and can be idiopathic or related to multiple causative systemic or local factors [8,15,16]. The main underlying factor for the development of deep venous thrombosis is the well-known "Virchow triad" formed by venous stasis, endothelial damage, and inflammation [16], with possible predisposing factors including recent surgery, trauma, infection, malignancy, airplane travel, oral contraceptives, mechanical stress, athletic activity, post-operative immobilization, coagulation disorders, and pressure from orthotics [2,8,15].…”

Plantar vein thrombosis is a venous disorder affecting deep plantar veins that can manifest with non-specific localized pain, plantar foot pain, swelling, and sensation of fullness. Plantar veins are not routinely assessed during sonographic scans for deep venous thrombosis, which makes plantar venous thrombosis a commonly missed diagnosis. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the venous anatomy of the foot and imaging findings of plantar venous thrombosis as well as discusses the current literature on the topic and its differential diagnoses.

“…Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), the formation of blood clots in deep veins, 1 continues to be a significant health problem that causes morbidity, mortality, and economic burden on the healthcare system globally. 2 , 3 Lower extremity DVT had an incidence of about .1% in the general population, and DVT led to 600 000 hospitalizations and 80 000 deaths in the USA annually. 3 In China, although there was a lack of multicenter epidemiological data, the prevalence of DVT among patients in intensive care units was reported to be between 10% and 100%, and 2.1% to 4.7% of patients died because of DVT.…”

Introduction Ankle pump exercise (APE) is an effective method to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities. However, traditional APE at a frequency of 3 times/min applied in the clinic lacked high compliance, and individuals were found to prefer an APE of 30 times/min. This study aimed to compare the effects of APEs with the above two different frequencies on the venous hemodynamics and fatigue of lower extremities. Methods The study applied a randomized cross-over design, and 307 healthy adults were randomly assigned into two groups, whose left feet performed 5 minutes of traditional APE (3 times/min, after 10 minutes of rest) and 5 minutes of selected APE (30 times/min, after 10 minutes of rest) in different orders. The diameters and blood flow velocities of the external iliac vein, femoral vein, and popliteal vein of the left extremities were recorded with the color doppler ultrasound when participants were at rest and after 5 minutes of traditional or selected APE. The fatigue of lower extremities was assessed with the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) after the participants performed 5 minutes of different APEs. Results After both traditional APE and selected APE, the diameters and blood flow (peak systolic) velocities of the external iliac vein, femoral vein, and popliteal vein increased significantly in the participants (P<.01), and the effects of the two APEs on venous hemodynamics of the lower extremities had no significant difference (P>.05). However, participants reported that traditional APE caused higher fatigue, and 252 (82.1%) participants preferred APE at 30 times/min. Conclusion Both traditional and selected APE could increase venous blood flow in the lower extremity. Despite the equivalent effects, the selected APE of 30 times/min may cause less fatigue than the traditional one of 3 times/min.

Object To evaluate the effectiveness of selective bipolar plasmakinetic technology based on bladder irrigation fluid color on hemostasis in HoLEP surgwery Methods A total of 209 patients who underwent HoLEP surgery from October 2021 to July 2023 were included and divided into Hemostasis Management Group and control group. the color of the irrigation fluid was categorized into 5 levels and the bipolar plasmakinetic technology was applied when the color came to level 4 or up. The following was analyzed: postoperative use of balloon compression, blood loss, irrigation time, length of hospital stay, and the number of a second operation. Results Only 4 patients in Hemostasis Management Group required postoperative urinary catheter balloon compression, while there are 15 in the control group(p=0.03). The average irrigation time for patients in the HM Group with bipolar plasmakinetic hemostasis was 21.88±13.76 hours, compared to that in patients with catheter balloon compression(p=0.007). Conclusion Based on the bladder irrigation color chart, the selective application of bipolar plasmakinetic hemostasis led to a significant reduction in the number of patients requiring postoperative bladder catheter balloon compression. Secondly, the irrigation time of patients who underwent bipolar plasmakinetic hemostasis also decreased.
