title: [Treatment results following acute thrombophlebitis. A comparison between thrombectomy and fibrinolysis therapy].
abstract: In a retrospective study 55 patients suffering from acute phlebothrombosis were subjected to an examination in order to evaluate the long term results of treatment. Good results of treatment could be achieved for the compensated stages 0-II of the postthrombotic syndrome in 22 patients after thromboectomy and in 33 patients after fibrinolysis (82 or 85% respectively). The portion of bad results of both methods, in the decompensated stages III-IV of the postthrombotic syndrome, was high (18 or 15% respectively). In both methods there was only 1 patient in stage IV of the postthrombotic syndrome, i.e. the total study comprised only 2 patients suffering from a postthrombotic crural ulcer.
