- Abstract
Eighty-eight patients with deep venous thrombosis (DTV) - 94 thrombosis, 30 with emboli - were treated from 1977 to 1982 by venous thrombectomy with temporary arteriovenous (AV) shunt. The average occlusion time was 5 days (1-9), the sex distribution was similar, and the mean age was 46 years of age (15-73). Postoperatively, the deep venous system was found to be free with functioning venous valves in 83 % of the patients; after 1 year the figure was 81 %; and from 11/2 to 21/2 years or longer, it was 86 %. No re-emboli were observed. Therefore, early venous thrombectomy (6-8 days) with temporary AV shunt can be regarded as the method of treatment in reopening the occluded deep venous vessels with functioning valves, thus preventing the post-thrombosic syndrome.
