Behçets disease is a multisystemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, which is characterized by recurrent urogenital ulceration, cutaneous eruptions, ocular manifestations, arthritis and vasculitis, and its diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. Herein, ...
Ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has a high rate of long-term morbidity in the form of the postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). Therefore, management of acute thrombosis should not only focus on the prevention of acute complications such as propagation ...
Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is rare, and data about the clinical presentation of patients are scarce. Therefore, we reviewed all cases of IVC thrombosis consecutively registered in the MAISTHRO (MAin-ISar-THROmbosis) database and ...
Abstract.Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) affects more than one out of 1,000 people every year, of which 50 % develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Studies indicated that patients with DVT have deteriorated ...
Summary.Background: The mechanism for post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), the most important long-term sequelae of deep venous thrombosis, is not entirely known. It is probably caused by venous hypertension due to venous insufficiency and ...
Summary:Background: Endovascular venous stenting with dedicated venous stents for the treatment of chronic venous outflow obstruction is developing as efficacious alternative to conservative therapy or open surgery. However, so far, mid- and long-term ...
Summary:Background: In patients with iliofemoral chronic venous disease (CVD) secondary to post-thrombotic or non-thrombotic obstruction, venous outflow obstruction after adequate anticoagulation alone is still frequent and post-...
