Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common disorder affecting 1 to 2 per 1000 Americans annually, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Anticoagulation is the mainstay management strategy for DVT. However, this could prove insufficient in cases where a mechanical obstruction is responsible for the DVT. We are presenting an interesting case of iatrogenic DVT incurred after Prolene suturing of lacerated iliac vein and the management employed for this challenging case with a successful and significant improvement in the clinical outcome.
深静脉血栓形成(DVT)是一种常见疾病,每年影响美国 1 至 2 人/每 1000 人,导致发病率和死亡率显著增加。抗凝是 DVT 的主要治疗策略。然而,如果机械性阻塞是导致 DVT 的原因,那么这可能是不够的。我们报告了一例在髂静脉裂伤后使用 Prolene 缝线缝合引起的医源性 DVT 的有趣病例,以及针对这一具有挑战性的病例所采用的治疗方法,临床结局得到了显著改善。
