To compare the efficacy of 125I-fibrinogen uptake and bilateral impedance rheography in detecting postoperative venous thrombosis.
Evaluated 80 randomly selected postoperative patients using both 125I-fibrinogen uptake and bilateral impedance rheography.
Performed confirmatory phlebography on patients exhibiting positive results on screening tests.
The 125I-fibrinogen uptake test was positive in 10 patients (12.5%), with phlebography confirming thrombosis in 7 and possible thrombosis in 2 of the 9 patients examined.
Impedance rheography was positive in 3 patients, all of whom also tested positive with the 125I-fibrinogen test.
Phlebograms confirmed that all 3 patients with positive impedance tests had thrombi located above the popliteal vein.
