Modern aspects of surgical treatment of patients with acute thrombosis of lower-limb deep veins and inferior vena cava (literature review)
AbstractThis systematic review analyzes modern aspects of surgical treatment of patients with acute thrombosis of lower-limb deep veins and the inferior vena cava, characterizing operative interventions for surgical prevention of pulmonary embolism and deep vein desobstruction, describing current indications for their use and the outcomes thus obtained. Separately highlighted are peculiarities of operations in the involvement of the caval segment into the pathological process.
