About Study Course

Objective

Venous disease is the most common vascular condition to affect the lower limb. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE) - are unresolved problem of medicine.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.1. US, Duplex scaning, D-Dimer test, indication for invasive methods. 2. Conservative treatments: compression, sclerotheraphy, application of drugs: anticoagulation, flavonoids. 3. Surgical treatments: high ligation and stripping, dissection of perforating vein. 4. Alternative treatment: endovenous laser, radiofrequency oblation, transluminal flebectomy, thrombolysis. 5. Surgical, combined surgical/endoluminal treatment of venous thrombosis, include thromboablative: percutaneous mechanical, surgical trombectomy, catheter - directed thrombolysis, stent placement; venacaval interrupotion. 6. Anticoagulants for theraphy and prophylaxis of DVT.

Skills

1.1. To know * a first line treatment of acute DVT, pulmonal embolism, * length of anticoagulant (warfarin, thrombin/ Xa-factor inhibitors) treatment in DVT cases, INR ratio, in pulmonal embolism, * Compression pressure fo stocking duration of treatment, * Indication for screening the coagulation system, D-Dimer test and Doplerography middle - and long - time period after DVT. 2. Indications of Thrombolytic thepary: systemic/ local - regional (catheter directed). 3. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy.'stent implantation. 4. Surgical thrombectomy, venacaval interruption.

Competences

1.Prevention of venous thromboemolism in patients undergoing surgery. Patients can be stratisfied into risk levels based on * type of operation * age * presence of additional risk factors and thromboprophylaxis given accordingly. Indication for surgical thrombectomy, endovenous thrombectomy with a stent implantation. Extraanatomic veno-venous bypass(Palma operation) with a GSV. The role of compression therapy. Congenital aneurysm, malformation, multiple A-V fistulas.
