“…Paralysis . Byrnes (10) reported that among 979 patients with phlebitis, 52 had hemiplegia; 56 per cent of these cases proved fatal. This indicates the significance of hemiplegia in the formation of pulmonary emboli.…”

“…Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is part of the spectrum of venous thromboembolism (VTE), with thrombi in the limbs predisposing to pulmonary embolism (PE). The mortality rate for PE following DVT ranges from 5% to 37% in untreated patients and is about 6% among patients treated with anticoagulation after diagnosis [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. PE in stroke patients may cause a higher mortality than that in other clinical settings [ 6 ].…”

Usefulness of the Computed Tomography Venography for Evaluation of Leg Edema Including Deep Vein Thrombosis in Rehabilitation Patients

ObjectiveTo investigate the usefulness of computed tomography venography (CTV) for evaluation of leg swelling, especially deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in rehabilitation patients.MethodsA hundred twenty-three patients, who had performed CTV performed because of suspected DVT in our clinic, were enrolled. We performed chart reviews retrospectively and categorized CTV findings as follows: DVT distal to inguinal ligament and no compression lesion; DVT proximal to inguinal ligament and no compression lesion; DVT distal to inguinal ligament and anatomical variant (for example, May-Thurner syndrome); DVT due to compression of mass (cancer or cyst); DVT and other incidental abnormal finding; and no DVT and other possible causes of leg swelling.ResultsDVTs were found in 65 (53%) patients. DVTs were found at distal level (thigh or lower leg) to inguinal ligament in 47 patients. DVTs were found at proximal to inguinal ligament, usually undetectable with duplex ultrasonography, in 6 patients. DVTs caused by external compression, such as femoral vein and cancer mass, were found in 12 patients (10%), which are also not easily detected with duplex ultrasonography. Other various causes of leg edema without DVT were found in 22 (18%) patients.ConclusionCTV can evaluate more extensively venous problems in the pelvis and abdomen and detect other possible causes of leg swelling. Therefore, CTV can be a useful tool not only for easy detection of DVT but also for evaluating differential diagnosis of leg edema in rehabilitation patients.

“…According to Martin and Pearson, once thrombophlebitis has supervened the patient is safe from massive pulmonary embolism, as not only is the clot adherent to the vein wall, but the blood flow past the clot has ceased. While agreeing that the two processes are not separate pathological entities, Byrne (1955) states that fatal pulmonary emboli occur frequently in both phlebothrombosis and thrombophlebitis and that a consideration of the latter as a relatively benign condition gives a false sense of security.…”
