Revascularisation of acute deep venous thrombosis investigated with contrast ultrasound agent

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess re – vascularization of venous thrombosis with contrast enhanced ultrasound agent (CEUS). Method: 31 patients (24 male, 7 female) with acute occluding deep venous thrombosis were investigated using the clinical score described by Wells et al (median 6.0, IQR 1.0) and with a duplexsonography device GE LOGIQ 9 (GE Healthcare Technologies, Milwaukee, USA) for thrombus extension. The median age was 62.9 (19.4) years, median body mass index amounted to 27.9kg/m2). 11 times the common femoral vein, 6 times the femoral vein and 14 times the popliteal vein was affected. Pat…
