Abstract
We present 817 patients treated for acute venous thrombosis in pelvis and legs during the years 1957 to 1986. 312 patients underwent surgery, 157 received thrombolytic and 348 conservative treatment. Neither surgery nor thrombolysis can prevent fatal pulmonary embolism. The incidence of PTS increases, if the crural veins and the popliteal confluence can not be opened. We recommend early thrombectomy of thrombosis in the sapheno-popliteal confluence, supported by 32 total recanalisations in 36 patients.Entities:
