Introduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of duplex Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities. Material and methods. During a 2-year period, 860 patients were examined by duplex Doppler sonography. Among these, 619(72%) were women and 241 (28%) men, with the age-range of 16-91; (mean 56,2) years. Siemens Versa Pro color doppler was used, with 7MHz transducers. Findings were categorized into four categories: 1. deep venous thrombosis (DVT); 2. pathology predominantly related to superficial veins without DVT; 3. pathology of superficial and deep veins; 4. normal findings. Results. 185 (21%) patients had DVT, 366 (42.5%) patients had pre?dominant pathology of superficial veins: postthrombotic syndrome, superficial thrombophlebitis and varicose veins. 128 (14.9%) patients had pathology of superficial and deep veins. Normal findings were found in 181 (21.1%) patients. Conclusions. Various vascular and nonvascular diseases may mimic deep venous thrombosis, and that is why US should be used whenever possible to avoid unnecessary anticoagulant therapy. .

AbstractDeep venous thrombosis is widespread disease, which complications, like: pulmonary embolism and postphlebitis syndrome areimportant social problem. There are many well-known and accurately described risk factors, though in many cases etiology remains unexplained. Further research into causes of deep venous thrombosis seem to be fully justified.was the evaluation of the influence of apolipoprotein (a) serum level in patients with deep venous thrombosis and the changes of its concentration during the treatment.26 patients with newly diagnosed deep venous thrombosis (DVT) were enrolled to the study. Diagnosis of DVT was established by use of physical examination and duplex Doppler. Measurements of apolipoprotein (a) and D-dimers serum level were recorded on the following days, starting from the day of the initial diagnosis: 1, 7, 14 and 84.Statistically significant increase of the level of serum apolipoprotein (a) has been found during properly conducted treatment.Alterations of the concentration of serum apoliprotein (a) during the deep venous thrombosis treatment, indicates the involvement of apolipoprotein (a) in pathogenesis of deep venous thrombosis.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of Color Doppler ultrasonography in patients with Deep Venous Thrombosis by using venography as gold standard at Radiology department of Civil Hospital Karachi. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out from August 2014 to March 2015 at Radiology Unit, Civil Hospital Karachi. Patients of either gender with deep venous thrombosis were included based on clinical examination and observation. For Doppler ultrasound, the combinations of spectral scanning, color compression, and grey scale were used. Potential anomalies including existing or non-existing thrombus along with its magnitude were evaluated. Color Doppler Sonographic results included incompressible, lack of phasicity, site of flow space and absence of increasing trend. Scan diagnosis was subsequently contrasted with venographic reports and recorded in self-made proforma. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: Total 104 patients were studied and their average age was 52.4±9.4 years. Males and females were 56% and 44% respectively. Color Doppler ultrasonography findings showed 99% sensitivity and 80% specificity. Positive predictive value 99% and negative predictive value 80% and accuracy was 98%. Conclusion: Color Doppler ultrasonography is cost-effective, efficient, safe, and non-invasive method to diagnose the deep venous thrombosis of acute nature.
