Investigation of the thrombo-embolic disease by simultaneous lung scintigraphy and lower limb gamma-phlebography
- 1. Centre Hospitalier Regional Augustin-Morvan, 29N - Brest (France)
Description
A venous thrombosis in the territory of the inferior vena cava and a possible embolus of the lung can be detected in one single examination by injecting 99mTc microagregates into a dorsal vein of each foot. A dynamic study of the venous blood flow by this method, which associates radionuclide phlebography of the lower limbs and lung scanning, was carried out 140 times in 127 patients and resulted in the detection of 107 cases of deep vein thrombosis. Apart from the unpleasantness of the injection, which in 11 cases obliged us to investigate only one limb, gamma-phlebography appears to be a harmless procedure well suited to the study of the thrombo-embolic disease
Abstract (French)
En injectant des macroagregats marques au technetium 99m dans le reseau veineux superficiel des pieds, il est possible de rechercher, au cours d'un meme examen, une thrombose du territoire de la veine cave inferieure et une eventuelle migration pulmonaire. Cette etude dynamique du retour veineux, appliquee ici a une serie de 127 patients (140 gamma-phlebographies et scintigraphies pulmonaires) a permis la decouverte de 107 thromboses des voies profondes. Mis a part le desagrement de l'injection qui, dans 11 cas, a limite l'exploration a un seul membre, la gamma-phlebographie apparait comme un examen inoffensif tres bien adapte a l'etude de la maladie thrombo-emboliqueAdditional details
