A clinical trial designed to test the relative value of two simple methods of reducing the risk of venous stasis in the lower limbs during surgical operations, the danger of thrombosis, and a subsequent pulmonary embolus, with a survey of the problem

Changes in Coagulation Factors Following Acute Myocardial Infarction in Man

“…Experimental data favours the view that it is the activity of coagulation factors rather than their concentration which is important in the induction of thrombosis [29], It is probable that most venous thromboses following surgery or myocardial infarction are initiated during or soon after the stress situation [11,14,18,22,23]: it is, therefore, of interest that a shortening of the clotting time in polystyrene tubes, an indication of the presence of an increase in the procoagulant activity of one or more clotting factors, was found only on the 1st postinfarction day. The significance of increases in the concentration of factors VIII, IX and XI following myocardial infarction is uncertain: these rises occurred after a few days and coincided with the period when many cases of venous thrombosis become clinically apparent, but it is unlikely they can be relevant to the initiation process.…”

Mechanical Ways of Thromboprophylaxis and Therapy of Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Accent – Compression Therapy

“…в публикациях, посвященных использованию ЭМС для профилактики венозного тромбоэмболизма, возникает ряд противоречий и несоответствий [18,19]. Например, когда скорость венозного кровотока во всех конечностях становится рав-ной, частота развития ВТЭО остается довольно разнород-ной между верхними и нижними конечностями [20]. Особый интерес представляет факт, что частота ВТЭО, источником которых являлась венозная система нижних конечностей, в 22 раза больше по сравнению с данными в отношении верхних конечностей [21,22].…”
