Development and validation of a risk prediction model and prediction tools for post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis.

PURPOSE: Our research aims to compare the predictive performance of decision tree algorithms (DT) and logistic regression analysis (LR) in constructing models, and develop a Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) risk stratification tool. METHODS: We retrospectively collected and analyzed relevant case information of 618 patients diagnosed with DVT from January 2012 to December 2021 in three different tertiary hospitals in Jiangxi Province as the modeling group. Additionally, we used the case information of 212 patients diagnosed with DVT from January 2022 to January 2023 in two tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province and Guangdong Province as the validation group. We extracted electronic medical record information including general patient data, medical history, laboratory test indicators, and treatment data for analysis. We established DT and LR models and compared their predictive performance using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and confusion matrices. Internal and external validations were conducted. Additionally, we utilized LR to generate nomogram charts, calibration curves, and decision curves analysis (DCA) to assess its predictive accuracy. RESULTS: Both DT and LR models indicate that Year, Residence, Cancer, Varicose Vein Operation History, DM, and Chronic VTE are risk factors for PTS occurrence. In internal validation, DT outperforms LR (0.962 vs 0.925, z = 3.379, P < 0.001). However, in external validation, there is no significant difference in the area under the ROC curve between the two models (0.963 vs 0.949, z = 0.412, P = 0.680). The validation results of calibration curves and DCA demonstrate that LR exhibits good predictive accuracy and clinical effectiveness. A web-based calculator software of nomogram (https://sunxiaoxuan.shinyapps.io/dynnomapp/) was utilized to visualize the logistic regression model. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of decision tree and logistic regression models, along with the web-based calculator software of nomogram, can assist healthcare professionals in accurately assessing the risk of PTS occurrence in individual patients with lower limb DVT.

Multicenter registry study of cerebral venous thrombosis in china (RETAIN-CH): Rationale and design.

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder that mainly affects young and middle-aged adults. Epidemiological data on the incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of CVT are lacking in China. In addition, there is a lack of evidence from large, multicenter, real-world studies on the efficacy and safety of endovascular. AIM: To understand the incidence, diagnosis and treatment status of CVT in China and to estimate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment in the real-world. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective observational cohort study will be conducted on CVT patient records from 104 hospitals, between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2022, identified using a 2-stage cluster sampling design based on per capita gross domestic product. Each enrolled participant is required to complete a further follow-up, which includes the current situation and the assessment at 3 and 12 months after discharge. STUDY OUTCOMES: The outcomes of this study will include the current status of the incidence, pathogenesis, etiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of CVT in China, as well as the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment in the real-world. DISCUSSION: Results from this study will provide evidence on the incidence, specific risk factors, symptomatic and imaging features, and clinical outcomes of CVT in China as well as indicate whether endovascular treatment is superior to medical management alone for patients with acute CVT in the real-world.

Management of Deep Vein Thrombosis: An Update Based on the Revised AWMF S2k Guideline.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are the most common manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Most DVTs affect the lower-extremity veins. Since the symptoms of DVT are non-specific, a prompt and standardised diagnostic work-up is essential to minimise the risk of PE in the acute phase and to prevent thrombosis progression, post-thrombotic syndrome and VTE recurrence in the long-term. Only recently, the AWMF S2k guidelines on Diagnostics and Therapy of Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism have been revised. In the present article, we summarize current evidence and guideline recommendations focusing on lower-extremity DVT (LEDVT). Depending on whether the diagnostic work-up is performed by a specialist in vascular medicine or by a primary care physician, different diagnostic algorithms are presented that combine clinical probability, D-dimer testing and diagnostic imaging. The diagnosis of ipsilateral recurrent DVT poses a particular challenge and is presented in a separate algorithm. Anticoagulant therapy is an essential part of therapy, with current guidelines clearly favouring regimens based on direct oral anticoagulants over the traditional sequential therapy of parenteral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists. For most DVTs, a duration of therapeutic-dose anticoagulation of at least 3 to 6 months is considered sufficient, and this raises the question of the risk of VTE recurrence after discontinuation of anticoagulation and the need for secondary prophylaxis in the long-term. Depending on the circumstances and trigger factors that have contributed to the occurrence of DVT, management strategies are presented that allow decision-making taking into account the individual bleeding risk and patient's preferences.

External validation of the SI2NCAL2C score for outcomes following cerebral venous thrombosis.

OBJECTIVES: Prognostication for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) remains difficult. We sought to validate the SI2NCAL2C score in an international cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The SI2NCAL2C score was originally developed to predict poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 3-6) at 6 months, and mortality at 30 days and 1 year using data from the International CVT Consortium. The SI2NCAL2C score uses 9 variables: the absence of any female-sex-specific risk factors, intracerebral hemorrhage, central nervous system infection, focal neurological deficits, coma, age, lower level of hemoglobin, higher level of glucose, and cancer. The ACTION-CVT study was an international retrospective study that enrolled consecutive patients across 27 centers. The poor outcome score was validated using 90-day mRS due to lack of follow-up at the 6-month time-point in the ACTION-CVT cohort. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration plots. Missing data were imputed using the additive regression and predictive mean matching methods. Bootstrapping was performed with 1000 iterations. RESULTS: Mortality data were available for 950 patients and poor outcome data were available for 587 of 1,025 patients enrolled in ACTION-CVT. Compared to the International CVT Consortium, the ACTION-CVT cohort was older, less often female, and with milder clinical presentation. Mortality was 2.5% by 30 days and 6.0% by one year. At 90-days, 16.7% had a poor outcome. The SI2NCAL2C score had an AUC of 0.74 [95% CI 0.69-0.79] for 90-day poor outcome, 0.72 [0.60-0.82] for mortality by 30 days, and 0.82 [0.76-0.88] for mortality by one year. CONCLUSIONS: The SI2NCAL2C score had acceptable to good performance in an international external validation cohort. The SI2NCAL2C score warrants additional validation studies in diverse populations and clinical implementation studies.

Diagnosis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the lower and upper limbs. 2024 recommendations of the venous thromboembolism group of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the limbs is a common disease and causes significant morbidity and mortality. It is frequently the prelude to pulmonary embolism (PE), it can recur in 30% of patients and in 25-40% of cases they can develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), with a significant impact in functional status and quality of life. This document contains the recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of acute DVT from the Thromboembolic Disease group of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI). PE and thrombosis of unusual venous territories (cerebral, renal, mesenteric, superficial, etc.) are outside its scope, as well as thrombosis associated with catheter and thrombosis associated with cancer, which due to their peculiarities will be the subject of other positioning documents of the Thromboembolic Disease group of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).

Venous Thrombosis in Acute Pancreatitis: What to and Not to Do?

Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreas that has not only local but systemic effects as well. Venous thrombosis is one such complication which can give rise to thrombosis of the peripheral vasculature in the form of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and splanchnic vein thrombosis. The prevalence of these complications increases with the severity of the disease and adds to the adverse outcomes profile. With better imaging and awareness, more cases are being detected, although many at times it can be an incidental finding. However, it remains understudied and strangely, most of the guidelines on the management of acute pancreatitis are silent on this aspect. This review offers an overview of the incidence, pathophysiology, symptomatology, diagnostic work-up, and management of venous thrombosis that develops in AP.

Thrombosis Tendency After Splenectomy in a Danish Family With Hemoglobin Volga, and a Literature Review.

Hemoglobin (Hb) Volga is a rare, unstable ß-chain hemoglobin variant (ß27 Ala→Asp), causing chronic hemolytic anemia. This study presents two members of a Danish family, splenectomized due to Hb Volga at and with multiple thrombotic events. The proband was diagnosed with Hb Volga 9 years old and splenectomy was performed as a part of treatment. Throughout his life, he experienced multiple superficial thrombophlebitis, two episodes of distal deep venous thrombosis (DVT) on lower extremities (age 32 and 33) and a transient ischemic attack (TIA) presented as amaurosis fugax (age 51). Thrombophilia investigation was normal. The proband's son was diagnosed with Hb Volga and underwent splenectomy at the age of 6. Despite anticoagulation therapy, he suffered from multiple venous thromboembolic events in his youth and died of chronic pulmonary embolism (PE)/pulmonary hypertension combined with infection. Given the observed propensity for multiple thromboses in these two patients, a literature review was conducted investigating reported occurrence of thrombotic events in individuals with Hb Volga.Currently 25 cases of Hb Volga are reported worldwide. The clinical symptoms primarily described are related to hemolytic anemia. Splenectomy is reported in 15 patients. Thromboses have previously been reported in only three patients who were also splenectomized. These cases involved DVT and PE, myocardial infarction, and an unspecified thrombotic event. The proband represents the first reported Hb Volga case with both venous and arterial thrombotic disorders. The exact mechanism underlying thrombotic tendency in patients with Hb Volga remains unknown, but it is probably associated with splenectomy.

Superficial vein thrombosis and its relationship with malignancies: a prospective observational study.

BACKGROUND: The interrelation of cancer with venous thromboembolism is established, yet the specific impact on the incidence and progression of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between SVT and malignancies, focusing on risk factors, presentation, course and complications. METHODS: A single-center prospective observational study of patients diagnosed with DVT or SVT referred to a venous thromboembolism clinic between January 2013 and April 2018. RESULTS: Of the 632 patients, 205 presented with SVT at referral, 16.6% having active cancer. Significant associations were found between active cancer and the risk of developing proximal SVT (RR 1.54 [1.18-2.03] p < 0.01), SVT within 3 cm from junction (RR 2.01 [1.13-3.72] p = 0.019), bilateral SVT (RR 8.38 [2.10-33.43] p < 0.01) and SVT affecting multiple veins (RR 2.42 [1.40-4.20] p < 0.01), with a higher risk of persistence (RR 1.51 [1.18-1.95] p < 0.01) and progression (RR 5.75 [2.23-14.79] p < 0.01) at initial assessment. Patients with SVT and no malignancy history demonstrated an elevated risk for new-onset cancer during follow-up (RR 1.43 [1.13-1.18] p = 0.022), especially in cases of proximal or bilateral SVT, initial progression or subsequent DVT or PE. No significant differences were observed in persistence, recurrence or complications during initial evaluation or follow-up across different pharmacological treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Research suggests a probable link between cancer history and the development of SVT. SVT presented more severely in cancer patients. SVT, especially in its more complex forms, could serve as a predictive marker for the future development of cancer. Treatment approaches varied, no significant differences in outcomes were noted.

The role of coagulation factors VIII, IX and XI in the prediction and mediation of recurrent thrombotic events in children with non-central venous catheter deep vein thrombosis.

BACKGROUND: The role of elevated coagulation factors VIII (FVIII), FIX, FXI for the prediction of recurrent thrombotic events in children after an index non-central venous catheter (non-CVC) related deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the predictive role of FVIII, FIX, and FXI for recurrent thrombosis in children with index non-CVC DVTs, and the mediation effect of FVIII on chronic inflammation and recurrent thrombosis. METHODS: Children aged 0-18 years diagnosed with an index non-CVC related DVT (1993-2020) were included in this single-center retrospective cohort study. Plasma levels of FVIII, FIX, FXI were measured cross-sectionally ≥30 days after the acute DVT. The association between the continuous variables FVIII, FIX, FXI and thrombosis recurrence was investigated using uni- and multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, and chronic inflammation. Mediation analysis assessed the role of FVIII as a mediator between chronic inflammation and recurrent thrombosis. Ethics approval was obtained. RESULTS: A total of 139 children with an index non-CVC related DVT were included. Thirty-eight (27 %) had a recurrent thrombosis at a median of 237 days (P25-P75 65-657 days) after the index DVT. In uni- and multivariable-analysis, FVIII, FIX or FXI did not predict thrombosis recurrence; However, chronic inflammation was an independent predictor. There was no evidence that FVIII mediated the effect of chronic inflammation on thrombosis recurrence. CONCLUSION: We found no evidence that elevated FVIII, FIX or FXI predicted thrombosis recurrence, or evidence of a mediating role of FVIII. Underlying chronic inflammation predicted venous recurrent thrombotic events in this cohort.

Cerebral venous thrombosis.

Cerebral venous thrombosis is part of the so-called thrombosis in unusual sites. It is defined as an occlusion in the cerebral venous territory. Its incidence is progressively increasing, especially in developing countries. It is more frequently observed in young women, with hormonal factors such as pregnancy or hormonal contraception being significant risk factors in the development of this condition. The clinical presentation will depend fundamentally on the topography of the thrombosis, with a confirmatory diagnosis based mainly on imaging tests. The treatment generally consists of anticoagulation, and other options may be considered depending on the severity of the case. Overall, the prognosis is better than that of other intracranial vascular disorders. This review describes the current evidence available regarding cerebral venous thrombosis.

Comparison of different machine learning classification models for predicting deep vein thrombosis in lower extremity fractures.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication in patients with lower extremity fractures. Once it occurs, it will seriously affect the quality of life and postoperative recovery of patients. Therefore, early prediction and prevention of DVT can effectively improve the prognosis of patients. This study constructed different machine learning models to explore their effectiveness in predicting DVT. Five prediction models were applied to the study, including Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model, Logistic Regression (LR) model, RandomForest (RF) model, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) model, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) model. Afterwards, the performance of the obtained prediction models was evaluated by area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, and Kappa. The prediction performances of the models based on machine learning are as follows: XGBoost model (AUC = 0.979, accuracy = 0.931), LR model (AUC = 0.821, accuracy = 0.758), RF model (AUC = 0.970, accuracy = 0.921), MLP model (AUC = 0.830, accuracy = 0.756), SVM model (AUC = 0.713, accuracy = 0.661). On our data set, the XGBoost model has the best performance. However, the model still needs external verification research before clinical application.

Natural history of cancer-associated splanchnic vein thrombosis.

BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty in the management of cancer-associated isolated splanchnic vein thrombosis (SpVT). OBJECTIVES: To describe the natural history of SpVT by cancer type and thrombus composition and to review anticoagulation (AC) practices and associated rates of usual-site venous thromboembolism (VTE), major and clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding (MB/CRNMB), recanalization/progression, and mortality. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study in patients with SpVT at 2 cancer care centers in Houston, Texas. We estimated the incidence of usual-site VTE and MB/CRNMB at 6 months using competing risk methods and examined venous patency in a subset of patients with repeat imaging. We assessed associations with mortality using Cox regression. RESULTS: Among 15 342 patients with an incident cancer diagnosis from 2011 to 2020, we identified 298 with isolated SpVT. Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and SpVT (n = 146) had the highest disease prevalence (20%), lowest rate of AC treatment (2%), and similar rate of usual-site VTE (4.2%) vs those without SpVT (5.2%) at 6 months, though tumor thrombus vs bland was associated with worse overall survival. In patients with non-HCC bland SpVT (n = 114), AC (n = 37) was more common in those with non-upper gastrointestinal cancers and fewer comorbidities. AC was associated with more recanalization (44% vs 15%, P = .041) but no differences in usual-site VTE, MB/CRNMB, or mortality at 6 months. CONCLUSION: Cancer-associated isolated SpVT is a common but heterogeneous thrombotic disease that is treated differently from usual-site VTE. Tumor thrombus is a negative prognostic factor. Initiation of AC in bland thrombi requires judicious consideration of thrombotic and bleeding risk.

Diagnostic strategies in postpartum individuals with suspected venous thromboembolism: A scoping review.

BACKGROUND: The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is increased postpartum and contributes to important morbidity and mortality. While there have been advances in evaluating diagnostic algorithms for suspected VTE during pregnancy, there is limited data for postpartum individuals. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a scoping review to describe and evaluate diagnostic strategies used to investigate suspected VTE in postpartum individuals. METHODS: A comprehensive search strategy was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (January 1, 2000-September 30, 2022) to identify original articles that reported on diagnostic strategies in postpartum individuals with suspected VTE. We extracted demographics, clinical decision rules used, D-dimer and imaging completed, including test performance and VTE outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 13 studies conducted across 11 countries with separate postpartum data were included for 759 individuals with suspected PE (n = 634) or DVT (n = 125), including unpublished data (n = 251). Among those with suspected PE, computed tomography pulmonary angiography was conducted more commonly (n = 522) than ventilation-perfusion scans (n = 69), with PE positivity rates that ranged from 4 %-27.6 % and 0-50 % across studies, respectively. Among 131 postpartum individuals with suspected PE who had a D-dimer measured, only 4.6 % (6/131) had a negative D-dimer test. For postpartum individuals with suspected DVT, the most common diagnostic test was compression ultrasonography (positivity rate 12.2 %-18.6 %). There were limited retrospective data evaluating the clinical decision rules. CONCLUSIONS: There are heterogeneous approaches globally in the diagnosis of suspected postpartum VTE. Limited high-quality data available underscores the need for more robust evidence to inform clinical practice.

Trends in cerebral venous thrombosis before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to provide updated incidence and trend data for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in the United States from 2016-2020, examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CVT, and identify predictors of in-hospital mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Validated ICD-10 codes were used to identify discharges with CVT in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Sample weights were applied to generate nationally representative estimates, and census data were used to compute incidence rates. The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was defined as January-May 2020. Trend analysis was completed using Joinpoint regression. RESULTS: From 2016 to 2020, the incidence of CVT increased from 24.34 per 1,000,000 population per year (MPY) to 33.63 per MPY (Annual Percentage Change (APC) 8.6 %; p < 0.001). All-cause in-hospital mortality was 4.9 % [95 % CI 4.5-5.4]. On multivariable analysis, use of thrombectomy, increased age, atrial fibrillation, stroke diagnosis, infection, presence of prothrombotic hematologic conditions, lowest quartile of income, intracranial hemorrhage, and male sex were associated with in-hospital mortality. CVT incidence was similar comparing the first 5 months of 2020 and 2019 (31.37 vs 32.04; p = 0.322) with no difference in median NIHSS (2 [IQR 1-10] vs. 2 [1-9]; p = 0.959) or mortality (4.2 % vs. 5.6 %; p = 0.176). CONCLUSIONS: CVT incidence increased in the US from 2016 to 2020 while mortality did not change. Increased age, prothrombotic state, stroke diagnosis, infection, atrial fibrillation, male sex, lowest quartile of income, intracranial hemorrhage, and use of thrombectomy were associated with in-hospital mortality following CVT. During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, CVT volumes and mortality were similar to the prior year.

Serum VEGF, P-Selectin, HDL-C, Platelet Index, and Coagulation Function Index in Deep Vein Thrombosis after Traumatic Fracture.

BACKGROUND: The goal was to investigate the relationship between serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), P-selectin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), platelet parameters, and coagulation function indexes and postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with traumatic fracture. METHODS: A total of 150 patients with traumatic fractures after DVT were selected as the DVT group, and 150 patients with traumatic fractures without DVT during the same period were selected as the non-DVT group. Serum VEGF, P-selectin, HDL-C, platelet parameters including platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), and plasma coagulation function indexes including thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), and D-dimer (D-D) were measured. Pearson's correlation was performed to analyze the correlation between serum VEGF, P-selectin, and coagulation function indexes, and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of DVT. RESULTS: Serum VEGF and P-selectin in the DVT group were higher while HDL-C was lower than those in the non-DVT group (p < 0.05). Serum VEGF and P-selectin were negatively correlated with plasma D-D and FIB (p < 0.05), and serum HDL-C was negatively correlated (p < 0.05). Compared with the non-DVT group, MPV, PDW, and P-LCR in the DVT group were decreased (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that P-LCR was a risk factor for postoperative DVT in patients with traumatic fractures (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Serum VEGF and P-selectin are higher and HDL-C is lower in patients with DVT after postoperative traumatic fracture than in patients without DVT. Combined detection of serum VEGF, P-selectin, HDL-C, and coagulation function indexes may help to reduce the risk of DVT. Platelet parameters (MPV, PDW, P-LCR) have certain reference values for the clinical diagnosis and disease evaluation of DVT.

[Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolic complications in orthopedic patients]. / Kompleksnaya profilaktika i lechenie venoznykh tromboembolicheskikh oslozhnenii u patsientov ortopedicheskogo profilya.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the comprehensive program for prevention of thromboembolic complications in orthopedic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have analyzed thromboembolic complications in orthopedic patients after surgeries on large joints over the past 5 years (2018-2022). CONCLUSION: A comprehensive approach to prevention and treatment of thromboembolic complications including ultrasound, early surgical prevention of pulmonary embolism can significantly improve postoperative outcomes after joint replacement surgery. Vacuum aspiration retrograde thrombectomy is effective, feasible and safe for acute ilio-femoral venous thrombosis reducing hospital-stay (p=0.0124) and restoring vein patency. Widespread thromboembolic complications, especially for pulmonary embolism in 2022, are likely due to a new coronavirus infection and require careful screening of patients with risk factors with appropriate preventive antithrombotic therapy.

[Endovascular treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities]. / Endovaskulyarnoe lechenie trombozov glubokikh ven verkhnikh konechnostei.

OBJECTIVE: To improve the results of treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities sing endovascular technologies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed safety and effectiveness of treatment in 24 patients with deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities. All ones were divided into 2 homogeneous groups by 12 people each. In the first group, conventional anticoagulation was performed. In the second group, we used additional regional catheter thrombolysis with alteplase and, if necessary, venous stenting or balloon angioplasty for residual stenosis. Patients received apixaban at baseline and throughout 6 postoperative months. After 12 months, we performed ultrasound and clinical examination to identify deep vein patency and venous outflow disorders. Vein recanalization was evaluated as follows: <50% - minimal, 50-99% - partial, 100% - complete. The quality of life of patients was studied using the SF-36 questionnaire. RESULTS: In the first group, we observed complete vein recanalization in 25% of cases, partial - in 33%, minimal - in 41% of cases; in the second group - 83.3% and 16.7% of patients, respectively. In the first group, clinical manifestations of venous outflow disorders were absent in 25% of patients, mild disorders - 25%, moderate - 8.3%, severe - 41.7% of patients. In the second group, venous outflow was not impaired in 83.7% of patients, mild violations occurred in 16.7% of patients. In the first group, physical health was equal to 44.2±1.7 scores, psychological health - 49.3±2.3 scores; in the second group - 69.3±5.7 and 71.3±5.4 scores, respectively. CONCLUSION: Endovascular treatment improved postoperative outcomes.
