  • Title: [Venous emergencies. Personal experience and viewpoint].
    Author: Kaufmann A, Andercou A, Giurgea I, Gales F, Gherman I, Radulescu S, Mironiuc A.
    Journal: Phlebologie; 1986; 39(3):717-24. PubMed ID: 3786441.
    Abstract:
    Based on a casuistic report of 226 cases, the authors propose a classification of venous emergencies, including acute deep thrombo-phlebites (with their anatomo-clinical and topographical varieties), the complications of varicose disease, venous traumatism and anorectal venous thrombosis. The authors touch on problems associated with clinical and paraclinical diagnosis, prophylaxis and active surgical therapy, respectively thrombectomy, ligation of the long saphenofemoral junction, the treatment of varico-phlebitis and urgent traumatic lesions, the thrombectomy and radical cure of haemorrhoids. The coupling of any of these affections presents a potential of great seriousness, sometimes a major vital risk which necessitates immediate therapeutic intervention. The classification of the idea of "venous emergency" in comparison with that of "arterial emergency", is outlined, and the authors mention that a surgical treatment in these affections is to be preferred.
