[The detection of deep venous thrombosis by fibrinogen labelled with iodine 125. Specificity and sensibility in comparison with standard phlebography (author's transl)].
During the last 6 years, more than 4,000 tests using 125I fibrinogen have been performed on orthopedic and traumatic patients who were undergoing a thromboembolic treatment by means of subcutaneous heparin. The high accuracy of this method has been confirmed using phlebography. This test still remains a simple, faithful, and non traumatic diagnosis tool in the early detection of thrombosis of the limbs of patients undergoing traumatologic and orthopedic surgery. Moreover, the labeled fibrinogen test is useful in the determination of the efficiency of antithrombotic preventive therapy.
