Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major healthcare problem that results in significant mortality, morbidity, and expenditure of resources. It compounds with pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of acute DVT characterized by marked swelling of the extremities with pain and cyanosis, which in turn may lead to arterial ischemia and ultimately gangrene with high amputation and mortality rates. The key in treating such patients is to provide quick and effective treatment to save the limbs and the patient.
静脉血栓栓塞症（VTE）是一个重大的医疗保健问题，会导致显著的死亡率、发病率和资源消耗。它与肺栓塞（PE）和深静脉血栓形成（DVT）相关。股青肿（PCD）是急性DVT一种罕见但可能危及生命的并发症，其特征是肢体明显肿胀并伴有疼痛和发绀，进而可能导致动脉缺血，并最终发展为坏疽，截肢率和死亡率很高。治疗这类患者的关键是提供快速有效的治疗，以挽救肢体和患者生命。
