[The venous thrombectomy (author's transl)].
Between 1973 and 1977 we performed 106 venous thrombectomies. 100 of these cases showed occlusion in the ilio-femoral area and 6 in the axillary area. The postoperative mortality was 2 per cent in pelvic thrombosis and 0 per cent in the Paget-von-Schroetter-Syndrome. Fatal pulmonary embolism did not occur. Seventy per cent of patients were free of complaints 6 months postoperatively. Best results were achieved by early operation. The Paget-von-Schroetter-Syndrome is frequently caused by a thoracic outlet syndrome. Therefore, the first rib has to be removed during the second operation in order to prevent recurrence.
