[Superficial femoral vein ligation and distal venous thrombectomy as surgical therapy for recent thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities. A clinical study (author's transl)].
Three hundred and eighty-three patients underwent superficial femoral vein ligation and distal venous thrombectomy in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. Two hundred and forty-eight patients were reviewed clinically. The results are quite satisfactory; no surgical mortality and no fatal pulmonary embolism. On long term follow-up the clinical symptoms such as pain, swelling, varicosities and ulceration are much less marked in the operated group when compared with the post-phlebitis syndrome which develops when the deep venous thrombosis is allowed to extend into the deep pelvic veins.
