Objective ; Retrospective descriptive analysis study to Doppler Ultrasound findings of deep vein thrombosis(DVT) of the lower limbs. Carries out 92 patients of DVT diagnosed in the department of Radio-diagnosis Suratthani Hospital Suratthani Thailand, on 1 October 2016 to 30 March 2017. And designed form for collected DVT data which gold to develop effective diagnosis DVT and prevention of serious complication is pulmonary embolism.
Results ; Showed that not different in sex of DVT at the lower limbs. The most frequency ranging in 51 to 60 years old and more in right leg. The most anatomic distribution of thrombi is superficial femoral vein 81.25 %,most stage of involvement of thrombus is subacute stage 40.21%, and most pattern of involvement of the veins is multiple contiguous. These results are indicated late diagnosis or be late arrival patient. Other findings are adeopathy, varicoses and slow venous flow. The slow venous flow(stasis venous) is may be early forming DVT or other causes such as pyomyositis, adenopathy, mass or hematoma compress vein. The last results reveal 2% pulmonary embolism.
