Below-Knee Elastic Compression Stockings To Prevent the Post-Thrombotic Syndrome

Abstract: Post-thrombotic sequelae develop in almost half of patients with proximal DVT. Below-knee compression elastic stockings reduce this rate by approximately 50%.

“…10 A later, non-deadly complication from DVT, though still a cause of major socioeconomic problems, is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), in this case also known as post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), which affects 20 to 50 percent of DVT patients treated with anticoagulants. [11][12][13][14] DVT is a complication of other clinical or surgical affections in circa 70 percent of cases. 10 Using objective diagnostic methods, such as phlebography and I-125 fibrinogen, DVT incidence among patients submitted to general surgery has been estimated at 15 to 40 percent, while for major orthopedic surgery it ranges from 40 to 60 percent, including in Brazil.…”

“…1,5,6,13 Available studies suggest that the daily use of graduated elastic compression stockings and/or an exercise program after a DVT episode can significantly reduce the frequency of PTS, and large multicenter trials are ongoing to substantiate these results. 2,3,14 It has been hypothesized for many years that rapid thrombus elimination and restoration of unobstructed deep venous flow may prevent valvular reflux, venous obstruction, and PTS. Proof-ofconcept support for this "open vein hypothesis" can be found in studies of DVT patients who were treated with anticoagulation alone.…”

“…[1][2][3] PTS most commonly causes chronic, daily limb pain/aching, fatigue, heaviness, and/or swelling. In severely affected patients, limiting venous claudication, stasis dermatitis, subcutaneous fibrosis, and/or skin ulceration may develop.…”

“…Этому вопросу посвящено до статочно много исследований, в числе таких факто ров обсуждают распространенность поражения ве нозного русла при первичном эпизоде, рецидив ве нозного тромбоза, неадекватное компрессионное лечение, тромбофилии, пол, возраст, избыточную массу тела и т.д. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Одним из факторов, кото рый наряду с рецидивом ТГВ называют почти дока занным, служит проксимальная локализация исход ного поражения, в которую включают тромбоз под коленного, бедренного, подвздошного сегментов, нижней полой вены [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Одним из факторов, кото рый наряду с рецидивом ТГВ называют почти дока занным, служит проксимальная локализация исход ного поражения, в которую включают тромбоз под коленного, бедренного, подвздошного сегментов, нижней полой вены [1][2][3][4][5]. Если говорить о локали зации тромбоза в последних двух сегментах, то про гностическое значение такого поражения сложно оспаривать, поскольку масштаб нарушений веноз ного оттока значителен, что часто приводит к раз витию ХВН.…”
