ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In this article, we report the ultrasound aspects and recanalization rates of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs treated with the rivaroxaban, focusing on the recanalization rate and the ultrasonographic aspects.METHODS:
This was a prospective and consecutive cohort study of patients admitted with DVT who were submitted to treatment with rivaroxaban for 6 months at the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual, São Paulo, Brazil, between March 2016 and July 2018.RESULTS:
Fifty-one patients with DVT were admitted to the Vascular Surgery Department and received rivaroxaban for 6 months. The follow-up time was 360 days. Analyses were performed at 180 and 360 days. The rate of total venous recanalization at 360 days was 76.4% (39 patients). The incidence of partial venous recanalization was 23.5% (12 patients). At the first month, 11 patients (21.7%) continued with total occlusion of the vein, with 4 patients (6.5%) with no residual thrombi. However, at 6 months, only 2 patients (2.2%) continued with total occlusion of the vein, with 26 patients (47.8%) with no residual thrombi. At 12 months, there were 39 patients (76.4%) with no residual thrombi. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified the following factors related to total venous recanalization the absence of popliteal vein reflux (odds ratio [OR], 0.386; P = 0.007), no residual thrombi (OR, 3.213; P = 0.008), femoropopliteal clot length at 1 month (OR, 3.021; P = 0.016), femoropopliteal clot length at 6 months (OR, 2.234; P = 0.008). The incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) at 12 months was 8.3%.CONCLUSIONS:
In this study, patients who received oral rivaroxaban displayed satisfactory total vein recanalization rate after 6 months and 12 months. The factors associated with better total recanalization rates were the absence of popliteal vein reflux, the absence of residual thrombi in the veins, femoropopliteal clot length at 1 month (OR, 3.021; P = 0.016), and femoropopliteal clot length at 6 months (OR, 2.234; P = 0.008). Moreover, the incidence of PTS at 12 months was 8.3%.
