The value of adding impedance plethysmography to 125I-fibrinogen leg scanning for the detection of deep vein thrombosis in high risk surgical patients: A comparative study between patients undergoing general surgery and hip surgery
Abstract
The clinical value of adding impedance plethysmography (IPG) to 125 I-fibrinogen leg scanning was evaluated and compared in 630 patients who had general surgical procedures and 385 patients who had hip surgery. Patients were screened by both tests and venography was performed if either test was positive to determine a) the frequency with which proximal VT, confirmed by venography, was detected by IPG but not by leg scanning, and b) the positive …
