[Clinical and surgical therapy of phlegmasia coerulea dolens].
Venous thrombectomy was performed on 123 patients with phlegmasia coerulea dolens (blue phlebitis). Best results are obtained if treatment is initiated at the earliest stage. Arterial involvement must be closely monitored. A fasciotomy, which in some cases may involve the fascia lata, must be performed in case of compartment compression. Palma's bypass procedure and Av-fistula are indicated in some cases.
