Objective To analyze the relation between the mode of delivery and postpartum lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and discuss the therapy methods.
Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with postpartum lower extremity DVT from 2006 to 2012 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively.
Results There were 15 897 patients with the delivery, of whom were 10 097 cases of cesarean section and 5 800 cases of spontaneous delivery, the incidence rate of lower extremity DVT in the patients with cesarean section was significantly higher than that in the patients with spontaneous delivery〔0.41% (41/10 097) versus 0.12% (7/5 800), χ2=9.94,P<0.005〕. The higher incidence rate of cesarean section, the higher incidence rate of lower extremity DVT, which was a positive correlation between them (rs=0.87,P<0.05). Forty-three cases were only treated by drug therapy, 2 cases were performed operation combined with drug therapy, and 5 cases were placed the inferior vena cava filter. Forty-eight cases were cured and discharged.
Conclusions The incidence rate of lower extremity DVT of cesarean section is higher as compared with the spontaneous delivery. The thrombolysis and (or) anticoagulation therapy is an effective way in the treatment for DVT. Controlling indications of cesarean section and early postpartum out-of-bed can decrease the DVT.
