6 Normal venous circulation of lower extremities

7 Normal venous circulation of lower extremities

8 Direction of venous blood flow

9 Direction of venous blood flow

10 Direction of venous blood flow One way circulation

11 Most common cause of varicose veins: Valvular Reflux ก

12 Reflux (sapheno-femoral incompetence)

13 Pathogenesis Varicose veins Genetic Hormonal Pregnancy Position Progesterone > Estrogen 2 nd -half of menstrual period blood volume uterus size (obstruct venous return) hormone Cross-leg Tight pants

14 Varicose veins Pathophysiology Primary Reflux (valvular incompetence): most common

15 Incompetent saphenofemoral junction/ saphenous vein Most common cause

16 Varicose veins Pathophysiology Primary Reflux (valvular incompetence): most common Perforator incompetence

17 Incompetent perforators

18 Varicose veins Pathophysiology Primary Secondary Reflux (valvular incompetence): most common Perforator incompetence Obstruction (in deep vein) Deep vein thrombosis Pelvic tumors May-Thurner syndrome

54

55 Deep Vein Thrombosis Risk factors Prevention Management

56 Risk factors: Virchow s triad Hypercoagulability Congenital hypercoagulability Malignancy Oral contraceptives Polycythemia Thrombocytosis Venous stasis Immobility Varicose veins Advanced age Congestive heart failure Obesity Endothelial Injury Trauma Recent surgery Severe infection

57 Risk factors Patient Group DVT Prevalence (%) Medical patients General surgery Major gynecologic surgery Major urologic surgery Neurosurgery Stroke Hip or knee arthroplasty, hip fracture surgery Major trauma Spinal cord injury Critical are patients 10 80

58 Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevention Graduated compression stockings Intermittent leg compression Anticoagulation

59 Prophylaxis Compression techniques Graduated compression stockings (GCS)

60 Prophylaxis Compression techniques Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) Flow velocities in femoral and pelvic veins Effective, up to 24 hr

61 Prophylaxis General Surgery: Risk factors Type and duration of surgery Traditional risk factors: cancer, previous DVT, obesity, varicose veins, estrogen use Type of anesthesia: spinal/epidural < general General perioperative care: degree of mobilization, fluid status, transfusion

62 Recommendation: Anticoagulation Unfractioanated heparin: 5,000 units sc bid / tid or LMWH (Enoxaparin): 40 units sc daily Decrease risk of DVT > 60% Bleeding complication - same Advantage of LMWH once-daily administration Lower risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) 7 th ACCP conferences on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy 2004

63 Patient Types Medical patients with restricted mobility Hip-replacement patients Extended prophylaxis in hip-replacement patients Knee-replacement patients Dosage 40 mg SC once a day 40 mg SC once a day (initiated 12 (± 3) hours preop) or 30 mg q 12 h SC (initiated 12 to 24 hours post op) 40 mg SC once a day 30 mg q12 h SC (initiated 12 to 24 hours post op) Dosing Adjustment for Severe Renal Impairment (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min) 30 mg SC once a day 30 mg SC once a day 30 mg SC once a day 30 mg SC once a day

64 Patient Types Abdominal surgery patients Unstable angina/non- Q-wave MI patients Outpatient treatment for acute DVT without PE Inpatient treatment for acute DVT with or without PE Dosage 40 mg SC once a day (initiated 2 hours preop) 1 mg/kg q 12 h SC (when concurrently administered with aspirin) 1 mg/kg q 12 h SC (in conjunction with warfarin sodium therapy) 1.5 mg/kg SC once a day or 1 mg/kg q 12 h SC (both in conjunction with warfarin sodium therapy) Dosing Adjustment for Severe Renal Impairment (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min) 30 mg SC once a day 1 mg/kg SC once a day (when concurrently administered with aspirin) 1 mg/kg SC once a day (in conjunction with warfarin sodium therapy) 1 mg/kg SC once a day (in conjunction with warfarin sodium therapy)

65 Recommendation High Risk Surgery Brief procedures of < 30 min for benign disease: No need for prophylaxis Laparoscopic procedures + additional risk factors: IV heparin / LMWH / IPC / GCS All major abdomional surgery: Need for thromboprophylaxis 7 th ACCP conferences on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy 2004
