Keywords: Acute varicothrombophlebitis, Surgical treatment, Great saphenous vein, Long-term results

Abstract

Introduction. Acute varicothrombophlebitis is one of the most common and dangerous complications of varicose veins of the lower extremities, as it is a common cause of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It develops in 30-60% of patients with varicose veins.

Methods. The evaluation of early and long-term results of surgical treatment of acute varicothrombophlebitis in 234 patients with acute varicothrombophlebitis in the basin of the great saphenous vein was performed.

Results. Depending on the prevalence of thrombotic process in the basin of the great saphenous vein, patients were divided into the following groups: Group I – inflow varicothrombophlebitis (n = 23 (9.8%); Group II – varicothrombophlebitis of the shin (n = 51 (21.8%); Group III – varicothrombophlebitis of the thigh (n = 21 (9.0%); Group IV – total varicothrombophlebitis (n = 27 (11.6%); Group V – ascending varicothrombophlebitis (n = 67 (28.6%); VI group – transfascial thrombosis (n = 45 (19.2%).

Conclusions. Surgical treatment of acute varicothrombophlebitis of the lower extremities according to the cumulative analysis allowed to achieve a positive treatment result in 94.5% of patients. Recurrence of thrombosis in the early and distant postoperative period was observed in 0.5% and 2.2%, respectively.
