Введение. Влияние стандартной и альтернативных схем антикоагулянтной терапии на степень и скорость реканализации глубоких вен привлекает внимание современных исследователей. Цель исследования: сравнение эффективности терапии тромбоза глубоких вен (ТГВ) нижних конечностей варфарином и ривароксабаном в отдаленном периоде. Материалы и методы. В исследование включено 94 пациента с ТГВ нижних конечностей, которые были разделены на 2 группы в зависимости от назначенной схемы лечения. Средний возраст 50 пациентов группы 1 составил 44,0 12,6 лет, 44 больных группы 2 39,5 11,7 лет. Пациентам группы 1 был назначен варфарин, группы 2 ривароксабан в течение 6 мес после выписки. Конечная точка наблюдения 4 года. Результаты. Прием антикоагулянта ранее установленного срока прекратили 18 (36) пациентов из группы 1 и 2 (4,5) пациента из группы 2. Режим эластической компрессии в обеих группах пациенты соблюдали нерегулярно. Рецидив венозных тромбоэмболических осложнений в группе 1 отмечен в 11 (22) случаях, в группе 2 у 7 (15,9) пациентов. Отрицательная динамика ультразвукового обследования складывалась у пациентов обеих групп: у 16 пациентов группы 1 и у 9,1 группы 2 появились признаки поражения ранее неизмененных вен или окклюзия ранее проходимой вены после перенесенного тромбоза без клиники острого венозного тромбоза в анамнезе. Трофические расстройства отмечены у одного пациента группы 2 и у 1/3 пациентов группы 1 к четвертому году наблюдения. Значимые отличия между группами были получены по таким параметрам, как приверженность к лечению и степень тяжести венозной недостаточности, оцениваемая клинически, в пользу ривароксабана. Заключение. Неудовлетворительные результаты лечения при использовании стандартной схемы терапии ТГВ требуют назначения препаратов из группы новых оральных антикоагулянтов с возможным внедрением схемы профилактического приема. Introduction. Effect of standard and alternative anticoagulant therapy regimens on the degree and rapidity of deep vein recanalization attracts the attention of modern researchers. Aim: to compare the treatment effectiveness of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs with warfarin and rivaroxaban in the long-term period. Materials and methods. The study included 94 patients with DVT of lower limbs they were divided into 2 groups depending on the prescribed treatment regimen. The average age of 50 patients of group 1 was 44.0 12.6 years, 44 patients of group 2 39.5 11.7 years. Warfarin was prescribed to patients of group 1, rivaroxaban to patients of group 2 treatment was prescribed for 6 months after discharge. The endpoint of observation was 4 years. Results. 18 (36) patients from group 1 and 2 (4.5) patients from group 2 stopped taking the anticoagulant earlier than target date. Elastic compression treatment patients in both groups kept irregularly. Recurrence of venous thromboembolic complications in group 1 was noted in 11 (22) cases, in group 2 in 7 (15.9) patients. The negative ultrasound dynamics was observed in patients of both groups: 16 of patients in group 1 and 9.1 in group 2 had lesion signs of previously unchanged veins or occlusion of a previously passable vein after thrombosis without clinic of acute venous thrombosis. Trophic disorders were identified in 1 patient in group 2 and in 1/3 of patients in group 1 by the 4th year of observation. Significant differences between the groups were obtained in favor of rivaroxaban according to such parameters as adherence to treatment and the severity of venous insufficiency. Conclusion. Unsatisfactory results of DVT treatment with standard therapy regimen require the administration of new oral anticoagulants with the possible introduction of prophylactic regimen.

Objectives Percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy is an emerging therapy for acute deep vein thrombosis and may reduce long-term incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome. This study investigates the proportion of patients presenting with lower limb deep vein thrombosis who are potentially suitable for percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy. Methods A retrospective review of all duplex ultrasound scans for lower limb deep vein thrombosis over two-year period at a regional vascular unit was conducted. All acute occlusive iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis were screened for percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy suitability according to predefined criteria. Results There were 2513 duplex ultrasound scans for suspected lower limb deep vein thrombosis in the two-year period. There were 120 cases of acute occlusive iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria 48 out of 120 (40%) patients were identified as potential candidates for percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy. Conclusions This indicates that a large randomised trial of percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy is feasible given expected recruitment rates in a multicentre study.

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare fibro-inflammatory disease of varied etiology which usually originates around aorta and spreads caudally along Iliac vessels into adjacent retroperitoneum causing ureteral obstruction as the most frequent complication. A 53-year-old male patient presented with complaint of mild pain in both the legs off and on. On investigating further, we found that he had been struggling with intermittent relapses every 3-4 years for last 20 years since he was first diagnosed with Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis. He was 33-year-old when he first developed the symptoms of anuria for 48 hours and was diagnosed with Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. This was followed by atrophy of left kidney and hypertension 6 years later, then hypothyroidism after another 3years and finally involvement of Inferior Vena Cava and acute Deep Vein Thrombosis of lower limbs after another 3-4 years. His deep vein thrombosis was well managed in time. He was put on glucocorticoids everytime he had a relapse and a complication. We did a review of literature to understand recent advances about its pathogenesis, diagnosis, investigations and management. We searched in PubMed using terms like retroperitoneal fibrosis alone and in combination with related terms such as Inferior Vena Cava thrombosis, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Tamoxifen, Methotrexate. This case is unique as it is very rare to find acute Deep Vein Thrombosis in Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis without development of any collaterals when Inferior Vena Cava lumen is compromised to almost complete obstruction. After a follow up of 20 years patient is doing well in terms of physical activity and psychological wellbeing with anti-hypertensives, thyroxine and anti-coagulants. Is the disease-free interval actually free of the disease or it just subsided with immunosuppressants to become active after some time?

The process of recanalization of the veins of the lower limbs after an episode of acute deep venous thrombosis is part of the natural evolution of the remodeling of the venous thrombus in patients on anticoagulation with heparin and vitamin K inhibitors. This remodeling involves the complex process of adhesion of thrombus to the wall of the vein, the inflammatory response of the vessel wall leading to organization and subsequent contraction of the thrombus, neovascularization and spontaneous lysis of areas within the thrombus. The occurrence of spontaneous arterial flow in recanalized thrombosed veins has been described as secondary to neovascularization and is characterized by the development of flow patterns characteristic of arteriovenous fistulae that can be identified by color duplex scanning. In this review, we discuss some controversial aspects of the natural history of deep vein thrombosis to provide a better understanding of its course and its impact on venous disease.
