Deep vein thrombosis after total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty in patients with previous ischemic stroke.

Abstract

The present study evaluated the prevalence and therapy of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in 57 patients with previous ischemic stroke. Postoperative anticoagulants were used for DVT prophylaxis, and batroxobin and prolonged anticoagulants were used for thrombolysis in DVT subjects. The incidence of DVT after THA and TKA in patients with previous ischemic stroke was 16.2% and 20%, respectively. No bleeding complications were observed and no new ischemic stroke occurred during the following 3 months. The prevalence DVT after THA and TKA in patients with previous ischemic stroke was not specific, and the treatment of DVT with batroxobin and anticoagulants was effective and safe.
