BACKGROUND: To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of @entity1229 anticoagulation after @entity384 alone for the treatment of @entity3181 ( @entity3181 ) complicated by old inferior vena cava (IVC) @entity715 . METHODS: From January 2008 to November 2013, 19 @entity3181 @entity1 complicated with old IVC @entity715 were treated with @entity384 followed by oral administration of anticoagulant @entity1229 . Follow-up was performed at 1 week, then 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months after @entity384 , and then annually thereafter. IVC patency and morphologic changes of the old @entity715 were examined by ultrasound, and clinical symptoms and signs were determined by clinical examinations during follow-up. RESULTS: Successful @entity384 was achieved in the 19 @entity1 (100%). Inferior vena cavography demonstrated the patency of IVC lumen, and the size of the old @entity715 was not altered. The mean pressure gradient between IVC and the right atrium was reduced from 27.5    3.0 cm @entity2507 (range, 22-35) before treatment to 5.4    1.3 cm @entity2507 (range: 2-7) after treatment (t = 41.6, P < 0.05; 1 cm @entity2507 = 0.098 kPa). @entity1 were followed up as outpatients for an average of 15.9    14.4 months (range, 3-66). Anticoagulation with @entity1229 was well tolerated in all @entity1 after @entity384 alone. Of the 19 @entity1 , complete resolution of the old @entity715 was achieved in 12 @entity1 and partial resolution was achieved in 7 @entity1 . Color Doppler ultrasound showed that 17 @entity1 had IVC lumen patency, and 2 @entity1 had @entity6323 . None of the @entity1 had recurrence of @entity715 , symptomatic @entity1151 , and @entity548 complications throughout the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that @entity1229 anticoagulation after @entity384 alone is a safe and effective therapy for @entity3181 @entity1 with old IVC @entity715 .
