[Early detection of postoperative deep-vein thrombosis in gynaecological patients by the 125I-Fibrinogen test (author's transl)]. 1977

J Endl, and W Auinger

Deep-vein thrombosis was detected by means of the 125I-fibrinogen test in 37.2% of patients undergoing gynaecological surgical procedures within the first six days postoperatively; 50% of the cases occurred within the first 48 hours. There was no difference in the incidence of thrombosis according to whether the abdominal or vaginal approach had been used. Varicose veins proved to be a high-risk factor in the development of deep-vein thrombosis. Prophylactic administration of horse-chestnut extract has to begin preoperatively in order to achieve a beneficial result.

D011183	Postoperative Complications	Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

D005260	Female		Females
D005340	Fibrinogen	Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
