[Indication and technic of thrombectomy in the therapy of thrombosis].

The problems of appropriate treatment of thrombosis are as follow: 1. the prevention of a lung-embolus, 2. the rapid rehabilitation of the venous circulation, 3. the avoidance of a post-thrombotic syndrom. The best ways of meeting these demands are through fibrinolysis as well as by operative treatment (thrombectomy). According to the author's findings, 58 cases of thrombectomy of acute, deep thrombosis of the veins have been reported with regards to the indication and technic of this method of treatment of thrombosis. Indications for thrombectomy are phlegmasia coerulea dolens and the occurrence of a mobile thrombosis as well as an unsuccessful treatment with fibrinolysis.
