[Associated thrombotic processes of the superficial, perforating and intramuscular venous system in patients with acute phlebothrombosis of the lower extremities].
In a retrospective study 100 phlebograms of the legs of patients with definitive acute phlebothrombosis were examined for additional thrombotic processes in the superficial venous system, in the perforating and muscular veins. They could be confirmed in 77% of the cases, whereby preferredly the superficial venous system (long saphenous vein and lateral branches) were affected. A temporary coordination of superficial thrombophlebitis and phlebothrombosis cannot be made. At first it is adhered to the approved strategy of diagnosis that an acute superficial thrombophlebitis is no indication for phlebography. It is demanded the immediate application of invasive and non-invasive examination methods, when there is the least clinical suspicion of a deep venous thrombosis.
