Catheter Thrombolysis

Objective — To observe the curative effect of urokinase catheter thrombolysis in treating deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs after implantation of vena cava filter and explore nursing measures and nursing points. Methods — Perioperative nursing of 30 deep venous thrombosis patients with catheter thrombolysis treatment were summarized retrospectively. Results — 30 patients were conducted with catheter pumped urokinase to treat venous thrombus, and the swelling and pain of limbs disappeared. No patient had pulmonary embolism or hemorrhage. Conclusion — When we use urokinase catheter thrombolysis to treat deep venous thrombosis, a comprehensive preparation such as health education, psychological nursing, close observation on patients’ condition, proper fixation of catheter, nursing of thrombolytic drugs and prevention of infection can reduce the occurrence of complications and promote the patients rehabilitation.

Thrombotic Risk

The authors present a case of a 27-year-old multiparous woman, with multiple thrombophilia, whose pregnancy was complicated with deep venous thrombosis requiring placement of a vena cava filter. At 15th week of gestation, following an acute deep venous thrombosis of the right inferior limb, anticoagulant therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) was instituted without improvement in her clinical status. Subsequently, at 18 weeks of pregnancy, LMWH was switched to warfarin. At 30th week of gestation, the maintenance of high thrombotic risk was the premise for placement of an inferior vena cava filter for prophylaxis of pulmonary embolism during childbirth and postpartum. There were no complications and a vaginal delivery was accomplished at 37 weeks of gestation. Venal placement of inferior vena cava filters is an attractive option as prophylaxis for pulmonary embolism during pregnancy.

Increased Risk

Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava is a rare vascular anomaly, and most cases are asymptomatic. Nevertheless, patients with inferior vena cava malformations may have increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. Particularly, cases of bilateral deep venous thrombosis may arise owing to an insufficient collateral venous drainage from the lower limbs. We hereby describe a case of a previously healthy young male patient presenting with bilateral lower limb deep venous thrombosis as the initial clinical manifestation of congenital inferior vena cava agenesis. We conclude that in young patients presenting with deep venous thrombosis, especially when thrombosis occurs spontaneously, bilaterally, or recurrently, inferior vena cava anomalies should be thoroughly investigated and ruled out as appropriate.
