Extractions: I t has been called "economy-class syndrome," but that's a misnomer as even people who fly first-class have been killed by it. A better name is "travellers' thrombosis" though the correct name is "deep-vein thrombosis" or DVT. It's front-page news because of the death last September of Emma Christoffersen, a 28-year-old Briton who returned to London from Australia where she had attended the Olympic Games. After completing the 19,000-kilometre, 20-hour trip, Christoffersen collapsed at Heathrow airport and died before she reached hospital. She developed a clot in her leg on the Qantas flight, the clot dislodged and made its way to her heart. Estimates of the number of deaths from travellers' thrombosis vary widely. A conservative estimate is about 100 a year, though David Derbyshire, medical writer for The Daily Telegraph , says that doctors who carried out a study at Ashford Hospital in Surrey believe more than 2,000 people a year die from travellers' thrombosis in Britain. What made Christoffersen's case more noteworthy was that she was young, in good health and about to be married.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key thrombosis , obstruction of an artery or vein by a blood clot (thrombus). Arterial thrombosis is generally more serious because the supply of oxygen and nutrition to an area of the body is halted. Thrombosis of one of the arteries leading to the heart (heart attack; see infarction ) or of the brain ( stroke ) can result in death and, in a vessel of the extremities, may be followed by gangrene . Acute arterial thrombosis often results from the deposition of atherosclerotic material in the wall of an artery, which gradually narrows the channel, precipitating clot formation (see arteriosclerosis ). A thrombus that breaks off and circulates through the bloodstream is called an

This thrombus may interfere with circulation of the area, and it may break off and travel through the blood stream (embolize). The embolus thus created can lodge in the brain, lungs, heart, or other area, causing severe damage to that organ. Risks include prolonged sitting, bedrest or immobilization (such as on long plane or car trips), recent surgery or trauma (especially hip, knee or gynecological surgery), fractures , childbirth within the last 6 months and the use of medications such as estrogen and birth control pills. Risks also include a history of

http://www.hysterectomy-association.org.uk/info/hrt/thromb.htm

Extractions: Site evaluation As far as Hormone Replacement Therapy is concerned, thrombosis refers to deep vein thrombosis. These are blood clots that can form that can partially or completly block a blood vessel. The condition occurs most frequently in the legs but it can occur almost anywhere from the lower abdomen down. On average, deep vein thrombosis is fairly rare and affects about 1 person in 1700. People who are particularly susceptible are the elderly, those that are overweight and those who have a condition called polycythaemia (inability to control the rise in numbers of red blood cells 1, 2. Deep vein thrombosis can cause pulmonary embolism which is potentially fatal. A pulmonary embolism happens when peices of a blood clot break away and becomes lodged in an artery in the lungs thus reducing the amount of oxygenated blood going to the heart. The incidence of deep vein thrombosis appears to be increased two - four folds in HRT users, according to John Studd, the risk seems to be higher when treatment is started and reduces significantly in long term users 3. In a woman that is categorised as low risk, this may mean an increase of 1:5000. Any woman that already has a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism should avoid taking HRT, unless the throbosis was as a result of surgery, accident, pregnancy or childbirth in which case there should not be an increased risk 4.
Stents And Thrombosis [Apr 2002; 98-3]

http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/band98/b98-3.html

Extractions: Bandolier 92 reported a meta-analysis of trials looking at a comparison of stents versus balloon angioplasty indicating stents to be better. With stents the death rate was 3.8% and reinfarction rate 2.1% over six months in randomised trials up to 1999. The interesting question is whether this retrospective analysis represents what is happening in today's clinical practice, with technical advances and improved anticoagulation. An analysis of ongoing studies suggests that death and reinfarction rates are lower now than they were [1]. Study Six major clinical trials of coronary stenting were coordinated from Boston, all using similar inclusion criteria and protocols, but with different stents. Protocols used routine high-pressure postdilation, and with aspirin 325 mg daily and ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily for four weeks, but with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors discouraged. All used stent thrombosis as a clinical endpoint, and with the same definition of clinical and angiographic stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction. From the paper it appears that some, but not all, of the trials were randomised. Results In all there were 6,186 patients who received a stent. Thrombosis occurred in 53 of them (0.9%), and thrombosis was confirmed angiographically in 45 of the 53. Most stent thromboses occurred within the first two days after the procedure (Figure 1), and events after one week were rare. With thrombosis mortality was 19% at one month and 21% at six months. Mortality or myocardial infarction with thrombosis was 70% at one or six months. Overall mortality was 10 in 6,186 (0.2%) at one month.

Extractions: Govenment Reports Ask an Attorney Deep vein thrombosis is a potentially deadly condition that may occur during long periods of physical inactivity. In deep vein thrombosis blood tends to pool in the legs, a condition that may cause blood clots . If such a clot leaves the legs and travels to a vital organ such as the lungs or brain , the result is often deadly. Recently, concern has grown that passengers traveling on long-haul airline flights may be particularly at risk for developing deep vein thrombosis. What do I do Now? As with many personal injury claims, time is critical. Contact an attorney today to protect your rights.

http://health.discovery.com/diseasesandcond/encyclopedia/590.html

Extractions: deep venous thrombosis By Minot Cleveland, MD Deep venous thrombosis, also called DVT, refers to a blood clot that has formed in one of the large veins far below the skin. What is going on in the body? A deep venous thrombosis is most common in the legs, but it can occur in other parts of the body. A blood clot in a vein blocks the normal flow of blood back to the heart. It also causes the affected vein to become inflamed. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Following are some of the symptoms of a deep venous thrombosis: pain, usually in the calf or thigh a so-called rope or cord that can be felt in the vein along the course of the blood clot swelling, usually in one leg warm, reddened skin, usually in the calf or thigh, that is tender to the touch What are the causes and risks of the condition? A deep venous thrombosis forms when a blood clot in a vein blocks the normal flow of blood back to the heart. Circumstances that increase an individual's risk of developing DVT include: immobility that lasts more than 3 days increased thickness of the blood, which may be inherited or acquired
