Venous function after thigh vein thrombosis diagnosed by the 125I-fibrinogen test. A study with occlusion plethysmorgraphy.
The long-term venous function after postoperative thigh vein thrombosis according to the 125I-fibrinogen test was analysed. 50 patients with a positive fibrinogen test postoperatively were investigated with strain gauge plethysmography 74 (27--103) weeks after operation. In five patients (10%), all female and all hip operated, pathological plethysmograms were seen.
