Role of reflux in evolution and prognosis of acute thrombophlebitis of lower extremities varicose veins

摘要

Role of venous reflux in evolution and prediction of acute varicotrombophlebitis (AVTP) has been evaluated with coloured duplex scanning performed as daily monitoring. It is demonstrated that venous reflux determines the direction and rate of thromb formation, it potential of embolism, promotes formation of floating thrombi. Study of venous reflux permits to predict the evolution of AVTP. It is one of the key elements which influences the thrombus formation and determines policy of treatment of varicose disease complicated with AVTP.
