[Assessment of embolism risk in deep vein thrombosis in various locations using radionuclide phlebography and perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs].
With the aim of the estimation of embolism at certain locations of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 3 groups comprising 22 patients were investigated in whom isolated thrombosis in one of the deep veins segments: lower leg, upper leg, and pelvis was determined by radionuclide phlebography (RNF) and contrast phlebography. Afterwards, all necessary investigations relevant for pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), including perfusion scintigraphy of the lungs (PSL) were performed. Out of all patients with DTV, 17% were with pulmonary changes confirming PTE. Out of patients with DVT, 59% were with the changes in the upper leg segment, and 66% of patients were with changes in pelvic segment, respectively.
