Intravascular Volume Status

Vascular ultrasound is accurate in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) at or above the knee. B-mode ultrasound usually suffices to make or refute these diagnoses, although sometimes Doppler ultrasound is required. Vascular ultrasound can also assist in the diagnosis of aortic dissection, although it cannot be used to rule out dissection. Finally, vascular ultrasound is also used to image the inferior vena cava (IVC) to assist in the estimation of intravascular volume status in the shocked patient, usually in conjunction with a shock protocol.

An 85-year-old man with a known history of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presented to a vascular surgery clinic with a severely swollen, tender and erythematous left leg. An urgent CT angiogram demonstrated a left-sided, proximal deep vein thrombosis, and a permanent, Bird’s Nest inferior vena cava (IVC) filter (Cook, Inc., Bloomington, Ind.) penetrating his AAA. The patient was treated with a course of apixaban 5 mg two times per day and the decision was made to closely observe his IVC filter and AAA, given his numerous comorbidities and age. This case highlights the unique considerations associated with an approach to permanent IVC filter complications among patients with AAAs.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a thrombus, or blood clot, in one of the extremities, often in the vein of a leg. Approximately 2 million incidences of DVT occur annually [1]. Roughly 300,000 people die due to the development of a pulmonary embolism (PE), which occurs when the thrombus from a DVT relocates to the pulmonary artery. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is another life-threatening disease involving thrombi, resulting in 15,000 deaths annually. Increased life expectancy raises significant concern for AAA, as it generally affects people age 55 and older. Together, these diseases impinge over 2.5 million people each year. Determining the mechanical properties of thrombi, which can be platelet- and/or fiber-rich, and understanding how they dissociate or fail mechanically under fluid flow conditions, can help diagnose these diseases at an earlier stage in their progression, thereby providing time to initiate treatments. In addition, increased knowledge of thrombi properties can lead to the development of preventative drug therapies. Both of these outcomes have the potential to decrease the number of deaths from the aforementioned diseases.
