     Extractions: Kevin deWeber, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 27 - NO. 5 - MAY 99 In Brief: This report of a recreational athlete who had arm discomfort, fever, headache, and emesis frames a discussion of the diagnosis and treatment for primary upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis (PUEDVT). An unusual aspect of the case was sepsis without typical risk factors. Treatment of PUEDVT usually involves immediate anticoagulation and local thrombolysis followed by evaluation for postthrombosis management; septic thrombophlebitis usually responds to intravenous antibiotics. Postthrombosis management is somewhat controversial, but first-rib resection is frequently recommended for patients who have thoracic outlet compression. This patient returned to unrestricted athletics without surgical intervention. P rimary upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis (PUEDVT) is the most common vascular problem in athletes (1). Named Paget-Schroetter syndrome by Hughes (2), who reviewed 320 cases from the medical literature, the condition is also referred to as effort thrombosis because 70% of cases have been associated with unaccustomed or vigorous activity (3). Athletic activity in particular has been cited as the cause in about 20% of all cases (1). A case of PUEDVT in a physically active young man serves here as the basis for a review of the recognition, evaluation, and management of PUEDVT. The case described is unusual because the condition was accompanied by sepsis in the absence of any typical risk factors for septic thrombophlebitis.

     Extractions: A vein is a blood vessel that returns blood from the tissues of the body back to the heart. The body has two distinct systems of veins, a superficial system and a deep system. The superficial system is made up of veins that are close to the skin. These are the blood vessels you frequently can see on your hand or arms and which become more prominent when you exercise. The deep system is comprised of veins within the muscles of the body. The two systems are connected by small communicating veins. The body regulates the amount of blood going through both systems as a way of rigidly controlling the body's central temperature. (More heat is lost when blood flows through the superficial than the deep system.) A DVT is a condition wherein a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a vein of the deep system. Thrombophlebitis is a condition in which there is both inflammation and a blood clot in a vein. Thrombophlebitis can occur in either superficial or deep veins. Superficial thrombophlebitis occurs in veins close to the skin surface, and usually causes pain, swelling, and redness in the area of the vein. Superficial thrombophlebitis usually is treated with heat, elevation of the affected leg or arm, and anti-inflammatory medications. A thrombosis in a deep vein is a much more serious problem than one in a superficial vein. The reason for this is that a piece of the clot in DVT may break off and travel through the deep veins back to the heart, and eventually be pumped by the heart into the arteries of the lung. When this happens, the condition is called pulmonary embolism. The blood clot is called an embolus (for which the plural is emboli), and the process of breaking off and traveling to the lungs is called embolism.

106. What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
     Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which blood clots form in a vein deep within the body. The word thrombosis means forming a blood clot.

     Extractions: NIH What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis? Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which blood clots form in a vein deep within the body. The word thrombosis means forming a blood clot. The clot itself is called a thrombus A blood clot is a jelly-like mass of congealed blood. Clotting is the normal way the body stops bleeding and begins healing following injury. Once the clot has done its job, the body absorbs it. Sometimes, however, blood clotting can prove harmful. DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein and remains there. DVT usually involves the formation of a large clot in the deep veins in the lower legs and thighs. In rare instances, DVT can occur in the area around the armpit and collar bone (axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis), in the upper arm, abdomen, or pelvic region. It is a dangerous condition because the clot may become dislodged from the vein and travel inside the vein all the way to the lung, where it may get trapped and block a vessel in the lung. This is called pulmonary embolism, which can be deadly.

     Extractions: By Diana Fairechild In-flight low air pressure, in combination with dehydration and hypoxia , puts passengers at risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT. Airplane cabin pressure is significantly lower than the air pressure where most people normally live and work. When we fly, this onboard low air pressure causes swelling in our veins. Ever notice that it's a little harder to put your shoes back on if you slip them off in flight? Now you know why. The reduced air pressure isn't necessarily a problem by itself, but when you add dehydration, which results from the extremely dry cabin air, and the lack of movement or exercise that automatically accompanies sitting for hours and hours during long-distance air travel, you have a set of conditions with a serious propensity for deadly deep vein thrombosis (DVT or blood clots). There are no authoritative statistics on how many air travelers die from DVT every year. DVT strikes down both the physically fit and those in poor shape, both males and females, and both the young and the old. At least one DVT sufferer in ten dies. DVT Almost Killed Me When I was in my early twenties, I nearly died from DVT. It started with an injury to my calf as I was boarding a plane, then my leg swelled up, and a few weeks later I would have died had I not arrived at the Emergency Room in time.

     Extractions: Doctor Finder Explaining IR Insurance Coverage Commercial Insurers/Managed Care ... Treatments Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot, known as a thrombus, in the deep leg vein. It is a very serious condition that can cause permanent damage to the leg, known as post-thrombotic syndrome, or a life-threating pulomnary embolism. In the United States alone, 600,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. One in every 100 people who develops DVT dies. Recently, it has been referred to as "Economy Class Syndrome" due to the occurrence after sitting on long flights. The deep veins that lie near the center of the leg are surrounded by powerful muscles that contract and force deoxygenated blood back to the lungs and heart. One-way valves prevent the back-flow of blood between the contractions. (Blood is squeezed up the leg against gravity and the valves prevent it from flowing back to our feet.) When the circulation of the blood slows down due to illness, injury or inactivity, blood can accumulate or "pool" which provides an ideal setting for clot formation.

     Extractions: Clotting of blood, usually occurring in the lower legs, is known as deep venous thrombosis (DVT). This has become known in the press as "economy class syndrome" but the term is misleading. Individuals seated in cars, buses and trains may all be at risk, and cases of DVT occurring in flight have been reported in travellers in premium cabins as well as economy. The term 'traveller's thrombosis' is much more accurate. Reduced blood flow may lead to DVT. Although most of the scientific research relates to hospital patients during the period immediately after surgery, it is clear that prolonged immobility can often be a key factor in the development of a blood clot. Specific studies examining traveller's thrombosis have looked particularly at how many DVT sufferers have travelled in the weeks preceding their diagnosis. It is clear from the studies of which we are aware, that there is indeed an association between long journeys and the occurrence of DVT. However, thromboses can occur after car, bus, rail or air travel and there is no conclusive evidence that flying in itself is a specific risk factor. In addition, at least 75% of DVTs in these studies occurred in passengers who already had at least one of the risk factors listed as follows.

     http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00044910.html
     
     Extractions: Deep vein thrombosis is a common but difficult to detect illness that can be fatal if not treated effectively. According to the American Heart Association, more than two million Americans develop deep vein thrombosis annually. An estimated 600,000 of these develop pulmonary embolism , a potentially fatal complication where the blood clots break off and form pulmonary emboli, plugs that block the lung arteries. Sixty thousand people die of pulmonary embolism each year. Deep vein thrombosis is also called venous thromboembolism, thrombophlebitis or phlebothrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis is a major complication in patients who have had orthopedic surgery or pelvic, abdominal, or thoracic surgery . Patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses (including congestive heart failure ), as well as those who have suffered a recent myocardial infarction, are also at high risk for developing DVT. Deep vein thrombosis can be chronic, with recurrent episodes.

Source: European Union. references Source: compiled by the editor from various references ; see credits. Top Specialty Definition: Thrombosis (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) Thrombosis is the formation of a clot or thrombus inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood. The formation of a thrombus is usually caused by an injury to the vessel's wall, either by trauma or infection, and by the slowing or stagnation of blood flow past the point of injury. Intravascular coagulation follows, forming a structureless mass of red blood cells, leukocytes, and fibrin. There are two distinct forms of thrombosis: If a bacterial infection is present at the site of thrombosis, the thrombus may break down, spreading particles of infected material throughout the circulatory system (pyaemia) and setting up metastatic abscesses wherever they come to rest. Without an infection, the thrombus may become detached and enter circulation as an embolus, finally lodging in and completely obstructing a blood vessel (an infarction). The effects of an infarction depend on where it occurs.

     Extractions: you are here: home page travelhealth advice First recognised back in 1946, travel related DVT is an added potential problem for 'at risk' travellers who are immobile for extended periods of time. While the problem is often associated with air travel, the risk is equally reported among those travelling by car, coach and train. A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a clotting of the blood in any of the deep veins - usually in the calf. If a clot develops, it usually makes its presence known by an intense pain in the affected calf. Medical attention should be sought immediately if this occurs, especially after a long journey. In some cases this can be fatal, if the clot breaks off and makes its way to the lungs where it can then affect the lung's ability to take in oxygen. A DVT can occur some days or even weeks after a trip.

     Extractions: Thrombosis is the presence of a blood clot within an artery or vein. This blood clot has the potential to break away from an artery or vein and either partially or completely block the flow of blood to a particular area of the body. Depending upon the area of blockage, this can result in a variety of debilitating or fatal conditions, including stroke and heart attack. When the flow of blood slows down, usually due to inactivity, illness, or injury, the blood may collect in a small pool. If this pool of blood hardens or coagulates, a blood clot forms. Thrombus formation can also occur from a condition known as endothelial dysfunction. This causes a disruption in the integrity of the inner walls of blood vessels, and is usually associated with high blood pressure and/or diabetes. Blood clots are difficult to detect, as they often do not cause any symptoms. Doctors will often look for a blood clot following a surgical procedure (especially a knee or hip replacement surgery). If your doctor suspects that you may have a blood clot, he or she will order any of the following tests to make the diagnosis: Doppler Ultrasound Angiography Computed Topography (CT) Scan, especially if they suspect a clot in the lungs
