A modern view on diagnostics and treatment of superficial venous thrombosis
Abstract
The article presents a review of the literature on superficial venous thrombosis of lower limbs for the last 10 years. The article presents the relevance of the problem of superficial venous thrombosis in real time, determines the indications to surgical and medical treatment for patients with acute superficial venous thrombosis, describes the types and features of the main surgical methods of treatment and possible complications.
Over the past decades, superficial venous thrombosis of the lower limbs has been one of the most frequent causes of acute vascular pathologies patients have been referred to surgeons with, which requires hospitalization both in specialized and general surgical departments. This pathology has been repeatedly studied and continues to be studied, taking into account the emergence of new methods of both conservative and surgical treatment (crossectomy, flebectomy, mini-flebectomy, laser, radiofrequency, and cyanoacrylate obliteration methods). The choice of the appropriate treatment method, in view of the multiple different methods, is still directly connected to the personal opinion and experience of the doctor and remains a difficult moment in the treatment of patients.
The work reflects the unsolved problems in choosing the optimal tactics of treatment of patients with acute superficial venous thrombosis.
