THE EFFICACY OF DUPLEX SONOGRAPHY IN DETERMINIG PROGNOSIS OF VENOUS THROMBOSIS OF LOWER LIMBS
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs is characterized by symptoms and signs produced by venous hypertension as a result of structural and functional abnormalities of veins that may eventually give rise to lower extremity, edema, pigmentation pain and ulceration. OBJECTIVES: This study was done to detect and describe doppler ultrasound appearance in DVT and venous insufficiency. METHODS: Study of 50 patients presenting with symptoms lower limb venous insufficiency to the department Radio-diagnosis, MGM Hospital, Kamothe, Navi Mumbai was done using duplex sonography during July 2015 to July 2017. RESULTS: In the present study of 50 patients with suspected venous pathology, colour duplex sonography could identify the cause of symptoms in 42 patients. It was of immense importance and utility. CONCLUSION: Colour duplex assessment of peripheral veins gives diagnostically adequate anatomic and hemodynamic information. Doppler ultrasound provides a noninvasive and reliable method for examining the venous system, particularly with respect to the diagnosis of thrombus in symptomatic patients.
