title: [Percutaneous ascending phlebography in acute thrombosis of the deep veins of the lower limbs].
abstract: The author describes a method for percutaneous ascending phlebography of the lower limbs which was conducted in 258 patients: he performed 315 ascending phlebographies (the examination was unilateral in 201 and bilateral in 57 patients). Nonocclusive and occlusive venous thromboses of the deep veins of the lower limbs were revealed in 225 patients. In 23% of the examined patients abnormalities were not found in the veins of the lower limbs, in 10 cases the examination was not carried out to the end for various reasons. The method allows the location of the lesion and the character of phlebothrombosis to be determined, its important merit consists in the possibility of contrast study of the sural veins which were demonstrated in 93.5% of patients with nonocclusive thromboses and in the absence of changes in the veins. Percutaneous ascending phlebography of the lower limbs is a highly effective, mildly injurious, and relatively safe method of examination, which meets all conditions of emergency angiography and provides the possibility of repeating the examination through the same approach.
