Progress in the application of thromboelastography in predicting acute cerebral infarction complicated with deep venous thrombosis in lower extremities
Deep venous thrombosis in lower limb(LDVT)extremity is a common serious complication of acute cerebral infarction(ACI),which can cause serious consequences such as pulmonary embolism and even death.However,there is currently a lack of ac-curate predictive indicators in clinical practice,and treatment is often given after the occurrence of LDVT.Thromboelastogram(TEG)is a sensitive method that has gradually matured in recent years to detect the coagulation state in the body.It can dynamically and comprehensively reflect the process from blood coagulation to fibrinolysis,provide evidence of the existence of hypercoagulable state in patients,and help clinical decision-making.TEG has been widely used in monitoring coagulation function,guiding anticoagulation program and predicting the risk of LDVT after severe brain injury,malignant tumors and surgery.This article reviews the value of TEG in predicting the risk of ACI complicated with LDVT from the following aspects:the basic concept of TEG,the value of evalua-ting hemagglutination state,the advantages and disadvantages of TEG compared with the traditional indicators of predicting LDVT and the research prospects.
