This document discusses the modern management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It covers the epidemiology, classification, clinical presentation, diagnosis and imaging of DVT. The main diagnostic tools are the Wells criteria to determine pre-test probability, D-dimer testing, and compression ultrasound imaging of the legs. Compression ultrasound has high sensitivity and specificity for proximal DVT, while CT, MR and contrast venography can be used for more difficult cases or to diagnose pelvic DVT.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Deep Vein Thrombosis-Dr. sharfuddin chowdhury
1. Modern Management of
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Dr. Sharfuddin Chowdhury
Department of Surgery
Groote Schuur Hospital and University of Cape Town
2. Introduction
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) refers to the formation of clot in the
deep veins of the extremities or pelvis due to a disordered balance
between the thrombotic and fibrinolytic systems.
• There are three possible sequele following a DVT:
Acute Pulmonary Thrombo-Embolism (PTE)
Complicated DVT (Phlegmasia; venous gangrene)
The Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) .
3. Epidemiology
• Worldwide 70-113 cases per 100,000 per year
• No conclusive gender difference, however recurrence is
M>F
• Equally frequent among Whites and Blacks.
• More common during winter months by 10% - 15%
compared to summer months.
4. Epidemiology
• Prevalence of DVT in hospitalized patient groups
Spinal cord injury 60-80%
Major trauma 40-80%
Hip/Knee arthoplasty or hip fracture surgery 40-60%
Critical care 10-80%
Stroke 20-50%
General surgery 15-40%
Major gynaecological surgery 15-40%
Neurosurgery 15-40%
Major urologic surgery 15-40%
Medical patients 10-20%
8. Diagnosis of DVT
• Pre-test probability:
A meta analysis involving more than 5000 patients with suspected DVT from 12
clinical trials and systematic reviews showed that the combination of normal D-
dimer and low clinical probability for DVT safely rules out the diagnosis of DVT.
Level of Evidence: High (1A)
Modified Wells Score Score
Modified Wells Score
Paresis, Paralysis or recent leg plaster immobilization 1
Active cancer (on going chemotherapy or within 6 months or palliative treatment) 1
Recent immobilization/ bed rest (> 3 days) or recent surgery (within 4 weeks) 1
calf circumference > 3 cm on affected side compared with normal side 1
Localized tenderness along the deep venous system distribution 1
Entire leg swollen 1
Pitting oedema of only the symptomatic leg 1
Collateral superficial veins (non-varicose) 1
Prior history of DVT 1
Alternative diagnosis at least as likely as DVT (ruptured Baker’s cyst,RA,Cellulitis -2
etc.)
Score 0= Low risk, 1-2=Moderate risk, 3 or above = High risk
9. D-Dimer
D-dimer is a specific degradation product of cross-linked
fibrin.
Sensitive but non specific marker
False-positive D-dimers occur in patients with
o Recent (within 10 days) surgery or trauma,
o Recent myocardial infarction or stroke,
o Acute infection,
o Disseminated intravascular coagulation,
o Pregnancy or recent delivery,
o Active collagen vascular disease, or metastatic cancer

21. Prophylaxis (ACCP Guidelines 2012)
• Recommended Prophylaxis in surgical patients according to the estimated
level of risks (ACCP Guidelines 2012)
A. GENERAL AND ABDOMINO PELVIC SURGERY
Risk level Prophylaxis
Very low risk Early mobilization
Low risk IPC (2C)
Moderate risk LMWH, LDUH (2B) or IPC (2C)
High risk LMWH / LDUH (1B) and IPC / ES (2C)
Cancer surgery- LMWH 4 weeks (1B)
IPC until risk of bleeding diminishes and LMWH /
LDUH may be initiated
22. Prophylaxis (ACCP Guidelines 2012)
• Major Trauma:
Traumatic brain injury, acute spinal injury: UH, LMWH or IPC
High risk: IPC and UH / LMWH
(When not contraindicated by lower extremity injury)
• Orthopaedic Surgery:
Major Surgery (THA / TKA / HFS):
> In hospital dual prophylaxis with antithrombotic agent (1B) and IPC (2C)
> extended thromboprophylaxis in out patient period for up to 35 days (2B)
> In case of increased risk of bleeding – IPC
> Patients declining or uncooperative with injections: Apixaban, Dabigatran,
Rivaroxiban, or dose adjusted VKA
IVC Filter should not be used for primary VTE prevention (2C)
Periodic surveillance with venous compression ultrasound should
not be performed (2C)
23. Management of DVT
Key recommendations according to ACCP Guidelines 2012
Distal DVT :
A. No, mild or moderate symptoms and no risk for clot extension:
No anticoagulation
Serial doppler US over next 2 weeks to exclude clot extension (2C)
B. Severe Symptoms:
Anticoagulation 3 months (2C)
Proximal DVT:
> Anticoagulation 3 months (1B)
Enoxaparin(bd) (2B) or Dalteparin/Tinzaparin/Fondaparinux (od) (2C)
Followed by Warfarin rather than Dabigatran or Rivaroxaban
> No routine use of thrombolytics or thrombectomy (2C)
> Treat as an outpatient, if feasible
24. Management of DVT
• Incidentally discovered (Asymptomatic DVT)
> Leg, pelvic or vena cava thrombosis – Anticoagulation
3 months(2B)
> Abdominal (portal, splenic, mesenteric or hepatic vein)
thrombosis-no anticoagulation (2C)
• Cancer associated DVT:
> Anticoagulation at least 3 months, preferably long term
unless bleeding risk is very high (1B)
> LMWH is the preferred treatment, rather than Warfarin
(2B)
25. Management of DVT
• Arm DVT:
> Axillary or more proximal veins- anticoagulation alone 3
months (1B) rather than thrombolysis (2C)
> DVT associated with central venous catheter:
Do not remove functional catheter and anticoagulate (2C)
if catheter is removed continue anticoagulation 3 months
thereafter.
• Superficial thrombophlebitis:
Superficial thrombophlebitis of leg of at least 5 cm length-
Prophylactic dose of Fondaparinux or LMWH for 45 days
(2B).
26. Management of DVT
•Vena cava filter (=IVC filter):
> should only be placed in the patient with acute DVT
where anticoagulation is contraindicated (1B)
> a permanent IVC filter, of itself, is not an indication for
extended anticoagulation.
•Compression stockings:
at least 2 years to prevent or minimize PTS (2C)
If at 2 years patient has bothersome symptoms of PTS
(Pain, swelling), continue to wear for symptoms relief
27. IVC Filters
• Indications:
– Absolute contraindication to therapeutic
anticoagulation
– Failure of anticoagulation
• Relative Indications:
– recurrent VTE on anticoagulation,
– Recurrent PE with pulmonary hypertension,
– Extensive free-floating ilio-femoral thrombus, and
– Post-thrombolysis of ilio-caval thrombus.
28. IVC Filters- Classification
– Temporary filters are attached to a catheter that
exits the skin
– Retrievable filters are similar in design to permanent
filters but are designed to be removed.
29. IVC Filters – Different Types
A. Stainless steel
Greenfield filter
B. Modified hook titanium
Greenfield filter
C. Bird’s nest filter
D. Simon Nitinol filter
E. Vena tech filter
30. Filter Placement & Location
• Angiographic imaging of the IVC: characterise
IVC anatomy, exclude the presence of IVC
thrombus.
• Inserted percutaneously via the femoral or
jugular approach under fluoroscopy guidance.
INFRARENAL
90% of clinically significant PE originates
from the lower extremity or pelvic veins, optimally
immediately below the renal veins to minimize
dead space if filter becomes thrombosed or IVC
thrombus to form.
31. Filter Placement-Location
Suprarenal placement:
Duplicated IVC
Large volume of thrombus
within the infrarenal IVC
Extrinsic compression (!
Pregnancy/Young females)
32. Filter Placement-Location
Bilateral Iliac Vein:
Megacava
Duplicated IVC
Retroaortic left renal vein
component that drains into the
IVC close to the iliac venous
confluence
33. Complications of IVC Filters
Recurrent PE 2-5%
Fatal PE 0.7%
Venous Access site thrombosis 2-28%
Filter migration 3-69%
IVC wall penetration 9-24%
IVC obstruction 6-30%
Filter fracture 1%
– Christopher J. Kwolek MD, Division of vascular and endo vascular surgery, Massachuatts General Hospital,
34. Anticoagulation after Filter Placement
Whether concomitant anticoagulation therapy should
be utilized following filter placement is unknown.
Patients with IVC filters are at risk for
– IVC thrombosis,
– insertion site thrombosis and
– recurrence of the initial thromboembolic event
ACCP Guidelines suggest the use of conventional
anticoagulation therapy if the risk of bleeding
resolves. (2B)
35. IVC Filter-Retrieval
Success depends on:
• filter dwell time
• amount of hook/strut/leg
penetration and endothelialization
• accessibility of the retrieval hook
Turba et al report a 95% success
rate for the GT Filter even with
filters in place for more than 6
months. (Feb 2010 Endovascular today)
37. Early Thrombus Removal
-Ilio-femoral DVT
• 2008 Guidelines- In favour of CDT (2B)
• 2012 Guidelines- Against CDT (2C)
BUT-
DVT causes severe leg pain and
swelling
With anticoagulation, the period before
improvement varies
Difficulty ambulating and returning to
full activity impair QOL

(ATTRACT) trial sponsored by The National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute (NHLBI),U.S.
As of:: July 3, 2012, 312 Patients have been enrolled
41. Catheter Directed Thrombolysis (CDT)
• Indications:
Acute ilio-femoral DVT
Multi level DVT
Massive DVT (Phlegmasia)
< 10 days old
• Contraindications:
Absolute Strong Relative Other Relative
Active bleeding / DIC Recent Major Surgery Renal failure
Recent CVA / TIA Major Trauma(<10 days) Severe hepatic dysfunction
Neurosurgery or Eye surgery (<3 months) Bacterial endocarditis
Intracranial Trauma Major GIT bleed (<3 mo) Diabetic haemorrhagic
(<3 months) Uncontrolled HPT(>180) Retinopathy
Recent delivery (<10 d) Pregnancy or lactation
ICSOL or seizure disorder
Recent CPR (< 10 d)
42. CDT- Procedure
• In cath lab
• Under Local Anaesthesia
• Straight flush angio-cath with multiple sideholes
• The catheter tip is placed into the clot
• Initial lysis with rt PA 10mg diluted in 200ml NS
• Followed by rt PA infusion 1mg/hr(40 mg in 1L NS @ 25ml/hr)for 24hrs.
• In addition Heparin infusion 500 U/hr to prevent catheter thrombosis
• Monitor APTT (Therapeutic 2.5 X control) & Fibrinogen level 6hrly
• Stop infusion if Fibrinogen levels < 2mg/dl
• Ascending phlebogram before removal of catheter
• Commence full anticoagulation & Warfarin after thrombus clearance
43. Angio Jet / Pulse Power Spray
• The Angio Jet catheter system is comprised of a single –
use catheter, single use pump set and a drive unit
• Small pulses of high dose lytic agent delivered through a
multi-side hole catheter with a guide wire occluding the end
hole.
• Jets create a localized low pressure zone at the catheter tip
macerating thrombus and redirecting flow and debris into
outflow channels directed behind the catheter tip for
aspiration and removal.
• Success in thrombus removal, restoration of venous
patency, and preservation of valvular function and low
haemorrhagic complications has been demonstrated.

• Expensive Minneapolis, MN.)
44. Trellis-8 Infusion System
• The double balloon catheter is inserted into the
thrombosed venous segment with the proximal
balloon positioned at the upper edge of the thrombus.
• Balloons are inflated and rtPA is infused into the
thrombosed segment isolated by the balloons.
• The intervening catheter spins at 1500 rpm for 15-20
mins.
• The liquefied and fragmented thrombus is aspirated.

45. Ultrasound Accelerated Thrombolysis
• In combination with CDT
• Does not directly macerate the clot
• Create micro streams, increase
thrombus permeability results in
augmented lytic dispersion within the
thrombus.
• Parikh et al reported their initial
experience with EKOS Endo wave
system accelerated thrombolysis in
53 patients. Complete lysis
(>90%)was observed in 70%, overall
in 91%, median infusion time was 22

46. Adjunctive Venoplasty and Stenting
• Adequate treatment of anatomic
compression, stenosis, or persistent small
thrombus after CDT or PMT requires
angioplasty and stenting.
• May Thurner syndrome (compression of
left CIV by right CIA against L5) is the most
common anatomic variant.
• With anti coagulation alone, untreated iliac
vein obstruction prevents vessel
recanalization in 70-80% of patients and Venogram 6 weeks following EKOS
clot propagation may continue up to 40%. and AngioJet with stent in left
common iliac vein. Vein is widely
patent without thrombus in filter
which was removed
47. Venous Thrombectomy

48. Conclusion
• Acute DVT should be viewed as a chronic disease due to
substantial long-term patient disability.
• Anticoagulation remains the cornerstone of prevention and
treatment of DVT.
• Newer anti coagulants may simplify therapeutic paradigms
and are expected to improve overall clinical outcome.
• IVC filters should not be used routinely to prevent PE.
• Most ACCP recommendations are weak 2B/C.
• Catheter-based endovascular therapies offer the potential to
preserve life and limb.
• ATTRACT trial results awaited.
In hospitalized patients prevalence is highest in Spinal cord injury, Major trauma ,Hip/Knee arthoplasty or hip fracture surgery, critical care amongst others.

Diagnosis of DVT starts with pre test clinical probability followed by D-dimer assay, followed by imaging that includes…..
A combination of normal D- dimer and low clinical probability for DVT safely rules out the diagnosis of DVT. Level of Evidence: High (1A) According to the modified wells score, 1 point is given for the following…. A score of 0=low risk, 1-2=moderate risk, .3=high risk
False positives occur in the following……

• There is a scarcity of robust evidence in favor of using IVC filters to manage DVT. • ACCP guidelines recommend IVC filter use in patients who cannot be anticoagulated due to bleeding risks. • There is insufficient data to support the use of IVC filters for such situations as recurrent VTE on anticoagulation, recurrent PE with pulmonary hypertension, extensive free-floating ilio-femoral thrombus, and post-thrombolysis of ilio-caval thrombus.
IVC Filters can be classified as Permanent and Removable filters. Removable filters are again two types- Temporary and Retrievable filters. Temporary filters are attached to a catheter that exits the skin and therefore must be removed due to the risk of infection and embolization. Retrievable filters are similar in design to permanent filters but are designed to be removed. However, this must be done with caution, as neointimal hyperplasia can prevent removal or cause vessel wall damage upon removal
The different types of IVC filters include….stainless steel greenfield filter……
Right internal jugular or right common femoral The acute angle of the left iliac vein with the IVC directs the filter delivery sheath against the right lateral aspect of the IVC wall causing the filter to deployed in a tilted position
For…….IVC filter can be placed suprarenally
And bilteral iliac vein filters for…..
Complications of IVC filters include…
Whether concomitant anticoagulant therapy should be utilized following filter placement is unknown. Small thrombi are capable of passing through patent filters or through collaterals around obstructed filters; furthermore, direct thrombus extension can occur through the filter itself. Because patients with IVC filters are at risk for IVC thrombosis, insertion site thrombosis, and recurrence of the initial thromboembolic event, continued use of anticoagulants when there are no contraindications would seem to be a prudent recommendation
For retrieval of IVC filter success depends on….. Here you can see….filter being hooked….and recaptured into sheath via Transjugular approach. Günther Tulip filter
Thrombus removal can be done by open venous thrombectomy or endovascularly. Endovasscular techniques include…..
The 2008 guidelines was in favour of CDT for early thrombus removal for ileofemoral DVT. The 2012 guidelines are against CDT.
Different studies published in different journals over the past 15 years shows Patient with ileo-femoral DVT develop Post Thrombotic Syndrome 60% of the time in 2 years
In 2002 , Elsharawy et al described a single centre Egyptian randomized trial comparing adjunctive CDT (with streptokinase) with anticoagulation alone in 35 patients with acute iliofemoral DVT. At 6 months, patient treated with CDT had a higher rate of normal venous function (72% vs 12%, p< 0.001) and less valvular reflux (11% vs 41% , p = 0.04)
Indications for CDT includes….. Absolute contraindications are….
CDT is performed in the endovascular suite under LA. Initial lysis by 10mg of actelase in 200ml saline given as a bolus. This is followed by….. In addition….
Iliac vein obstruction are of 2 types: Thrombotic iliac vein lesion, Non thrombotic iliac vein lesion like may thurner syndrome which is compression of left CIV by right CIA against L5 Adequate treatment of anatomic compression, stenosis, or persistent small thrombus after CDT or PMT requires angioplasty and stenting. With anti coagulation alone, untreated iliac vein obstruction prevents vessel recanalization in 70-80% of patients and clot propagation may continue up to 40%.
Is done by performing a venotomy and a venous balloon catheter to extract thrombus.
