CHAPTER 24
Venous and Lymphatic Disease
veins of the upper extremity are the cephalic and basilic veins and their tributaries. The cephalic vein originates at the lat­eral wrist and courses over the lateral ventral surface of the forearm. In the upper arm, the cephalic vein terminates in the infraclavicular fossa, piercing the clavipectoral fascia to empty into the axillary vein. The basilic vein runs medially along the forearm and penetrates the deep fascia as it courses past the elbow in the upper arm. It then joins with the deep brachial veins to become the axillary vein, a landmark for identification of the axillary vein. The median antecubital vein joins the cephalic and the basilic veins on the ventral surface of the elbow.
The axillary vein becomes the subclavian vein at the lateral border of the first rib. At the medial border of the scalenus anterior muscle, the subclavian vein joins with the inter­nal jugular vein to become the brachiocephalic vein, with the subclavian vein coursing anterior to the scalenus ante­rior muscle. The left and right brachiocephalic veins join to become the superior vena cava, which empties into the right atrium. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 981.)
2. The target organ(s) of chronic venous insufficiency is/are: A. Perforator veins. B. The great saphenous veins. C. The skin. D. Lymphatics. E. Venous capillaries.
Answer: C
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) may lead to characteristic changes in the skin and subcutaneous tissues in the affected limb. CVI results from incompetence of venous valves, venous obstruction, or both. Most CVI involves venous reflux, and severe CVI often reflects a combination of reflux and venous obstruction. It is important to remember that although CVI originates with abnormalities of the veins, the target organ of CVI is the skin, and the underlying physiologic and bio­chemical mechanisms leading to the cutaneous abnormali­ties associated with CVI are poorly understood. A typical leg affected by CVI will be edematous, with edema increas­ing over the course of the day. The leg may also be indurated and pigmented with eczema and dermatitis. These changes are associated with excessive proteinaceous capillary exudate and deposition of a pericapillary fibrin cuff that may limit nutritional exchange. In addition, an increase in white blood cell trapping within the skin microcirculation in CVI patients may lead to microvascular congestion and thrombosis. Sub­sequently, white blood cells may migrate into the interstitium and release necrotizing lysosomal enzymes, potentially lead­ing to tissue destruction and eventual ulceration.
Fibrosis can eventually develop from impaired nutrition, chronic inflammation, and fat necrosis ( lipodermatosclerosis). Hemosiderin deposition due to the extravasation of red cells and subsequent lysis in the skin contributes to the charac­teristic pigmentation of chronic venous disease (Fig. 24-1). Ulceration can develop with long-standing venous hyperten­sion and is associated with alterations in microcirculatory and cutaneous lymphatic anatomy and function. The most common location of venous ulceration is approximately 3 cm proximal to the medial malleolus (Fig. 24-2). (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 983.)

CHAPTER 24
Venous and Lymphatic Disease
4. Which of the following factors is the most important in the development of spontaneous deep vein thrombosis? A. Stasis B. Endothelial Damage C. Hypercoagulability D. All of the above
Answer: D
The incidence of VTE is approximately 100 per 100,000 peo­ple per year in the general population, with 20% of the diag­noses made within 3 months of a surgical procedure. Of the symptomatic patients, one-third will present with pulmonary embolism (PE) and two-thirds with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The estimated number of cases of VTE may well be over 600,000 per year in the United States, making it a major US health problem. Furthermore, death occurs in 6% of DVT and 12% of PE cases within 1 month of diagnosis. Not only does VTE pose a veritable threat to life, but it also places patients at higher risk for recurrence and post-VTE sequelae such as pulmonary hypertension and postthrombotic syndrome, with 4% and up to 30% incidence, respectively. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 984.)
Answer: C
Three conditions, first described by Rudolf Virchow in 1862, contribute to venous thromboembolism (VTE) formation: stasis of blood flow, endothelial damage, and hypercoagu­lability. Of these risk factors, relative hypercoagulability appears most important in most cases of spontaneous VTE, or so-called idiopathic VTE, whereas stasis and endothe­lial damage likely play a greater role in secondary VTE, or so-called provoked VTE, occurring in association with transient risk factors such as immobilization, surgical proce­dures, and trauma. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 984.)
5. All of the following are acquired risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) EXCEPT: A. Nephrotic syndrome. B. Factor V Leiden. C. Malignancy. D. Pregnancy. E. Obesity. F. Varicose veins.
Answer: B
The more common acquired VTE risk factors include older age (>40 years), hospitalization and immobilization, hor­mone replacement and oral contraceptive therapy, pregnancy and the recently postpartum state, prior VTE, malignancy, major surgery, obesity, nephrotic syndrome, trauma and spi­nal cord injury, long-haul travel (>6 hours), varicose veins, antiphospholipid syndrome, myeloproliferative disorders, and polycythemia. Heritable risk factors include male sex, factor V Leiden mutation; prothrombin 20210A gene variant; antithrombin, protein C, and protein S deficiencies; and dys­fibrinogenemias. In some patients, the cause of the thrombo­philia may have both a heritable and an acquired component. These mixed causes include homocysteinemia; factors VII, VIII, IX, and XI elevation; hyperfibrinogenemia; and acti­vated protein C resistance in the absence of factor V Leiden. There may be a synergistic effect when particular multiple inherited and acquired risk factors are present in the same patient.
Other patient-specific factors associated with venous thrombosis include the traditional cardiovascular risk fac­tors of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. VTE is more common in whites and African Americans than Asians and Native Americans. Certain gene variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are also associated with a mildly increased risk for VTE, and their presence may interact with other risk factors to increase the overall risk for venous thrombosis. (See Schwartz 11th ed., Figure 24-3, p. 984.)

6. May-Thurner syndrome is an anatomical factor associ­ated with increased deep vein thrombosis (DVT) forma­tion, and is characterized by which of the following? A. Narrowing of the left iliac vein at the site where the
right iliac artery crosses over it
B. Narrowing of the left renal vein as it traverses beneath
the superior mesenteric artery
C. Subclavian vein narrowing due to repetitive upper
extremity effort
D. A rapidly expanding hemangioma
7. All of the following are absolute contraindications to catheter-directed thrombolysis EXCEPT: A. Prior history of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
within 3 months.
B. Traumatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation within 3
weeks. C. Known intracranial neoplasm. D. Age > 75 years.
Answer: A
Anatomic factors may also contribute to development of DVT. At the site where the right iliac artery crosses over the left iliac vein, the left iliac vein may become chronically narrowed pre­disposing to iliofemoral venous thrombosis, so-called May­Thurner syndrome. External compression of major veins by masses of various types can also lead to venous thrombosis. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 985.)
Answer: D
There are contraindications to thrombolytic therapy. Absolute contraindications include prior history of ischemic or hemor­rhagic stroke within 3 months, head trauma within 3 months, neurologic surgery within 6 months, known intracranial neoplasm, internal bleeding within 6 weeks, active or known bleeding disorder, traumatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation within 3 weeks or suspected aortic dissection. Fortunately, serious remote bleeding is uncommon, and intracranial hem­orrhage rarely occurs. The majority of bleeding complications are limited to the venous access site. Symptomatic pulmo­nary embolism occurs uncommonly and is very rarely fatal. (See Schwartz 11th ed., pp. 990–991.)

8. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is best described as: A. Asymptomatic, but extensive deep vein thrombosis
(DVT). B. Isolated popliteal vein thrombosis. C. Extensive DVT of the major axial deep venous chan-
nels of the lower extremity potentially complicated by
venous gangrene and/or the need for amputation. D. Painless lower extremity swelling.
Answer: C
Clinical symptoms may worsen as DVT propagates and involves the major proximal deep veins. Extensive DVT of the major axial deep venous channels of the lower extremity with relative sparing of collateral veins causes a condition called phlegmasia cerulea dolens (Fig. 24-3). This condition is char­acterized by pain and pitting edema with associated cyanosis. When the thrombosis extends to the collateral veins, mas­sive fluid sequestration and more significant edema ensue, resulting in a condition known as phlegmasia alba dolens. The affected extremity in phlegmasia alba dolens is extremely pain­ful and edematous and pale secondary to arterial insufficiency from dramatically elevated below lower knee compartment pressures. Both phlegmasia cerulean dolens and phlegmasia alba dolens can be complicated by venous gangrene and the need for amputation. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 986.)

10. Which of the following statements related to inferior vena cava (IVC) filters is TRUE? A. Placement of an IVC filter allows for a reduced dura-
tion of anticoagulation therapy.
B. In patients with a proximal DVT, placement of an
IVC filter reduces rate of pulmonary embolism, and also prolongs early and late survival.
C. The rate of fatal complications related to IVC filters is
<0.12%.
D. An IVC filter is safe to leave in place after it is no
longer needed.
E. All of above.
Answer: C
When possible, anticoagulation therapy should be continued in patients with vena cava filters. The duration of anticoagu­lation is determined by the underlying venous thromboem­bolism (VTE) and not by the presence of the IVC filter itself. Practically speaking, however, many patients who require an IVC filter for recurrent VTE are the same ones who would benefit most from indefinite anticoagulation. In patients who are not able to receive anticoagulants due to recent surgery or trauma, the clinician should continually reassess if anticoagu­lation may be started safely at a later date.
Placement of permanent IVC filters has been evaluated as an adjunct to routine anticoagulation in patients with proxi­mal DVT. Routine IVC filter placement has not been shown to prolong early or late survival in patients with proximal DVT but did decrease the rate of PE (HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.05–0.90); however, there is an increased rate of recurrent DVT in patients with IVC filters (HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.10–3.20).
IVC filters are associated with acute and late complications. Acute complications include thrombosis or bleeding at the insertion site and misplacement of the filter. Late complications include thrombosis of the IVC, DVT, breaking, migration, or erosion of the filter through the IVC (Fig. 24-4). The rate of fatal complications is <0.12%. As a result of the increasing number of reported complications with IVC filters, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning in 2010 recommend­ing removal of IVC filters as soon as they are no longer needed. This was followed by an update in 2014 where the recommen­dation was made to remove IVC filters within 29 and 54 days after implantation based upon a mathematical model that sug­gested an increased risk-to-benefit ratio at this time point. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 991.)

11. All of the following are appropriate therapies for suppu­rative thrombophlebitis (SVT) EXCEPT: A. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. B. Antibiotics. C. Systemic steroid therapy. D. Removal of existing indwelling venous catheters.
B
Answer: C
Treatment of SVT is quite variable. A Cochrane Review reported that low molecular weight heparin (LMWHs) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs both reduce the rate of SVT extension or recurrence. Topical medications appear to improve local symptoms. Surgical treatment, combined with the use of graduated compression stockings, is associated with a lower rate of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and SVT progression. The treatment is individualized and depends on the location of the thrombus and the severity of symptoms. In patients with SVT not within 1 cm of the saphenofemoral junc­tion, treatment consists of compression and administration of an anti-inflammatory medication such as indomethacin. In patients with suppurative SVT, antibiotics and removal of any existing indwelling catheters are mandatory. Excision of the vein may be necessary but is usually reserved for patients with systemic symptoms or when excision of the involved vein is straightforward. If the SVT extends proximally to within 1 cm of the saphenofemoral junction, extension into the com­mon femoral vein is more likely to occur. In these patients, anticoagulation therapy for 6 weeks and GSV ligation appear equally effective in preventing thrombus extension into the deep venous system. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 994.)

12. All of the following findings on venous duplex ultraso­nography (DUS) suggest acute venous thromboembo­lism (VTE) EXCEPT: A. Venous distention. B. Formation of venous collaterals. C. Inability to compress vessel walls. D. Loss of respiratory variation. E. Lack of spontaneous flow.
CHAPTER 24
Venous and Lymphatic Disease
Answer: B
The examination begins at the ankle and continues proxi­mally to the groin. Each vein is visualized, and the flow sig­nal is assessed with distal and proximal compression. Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can be diagnosed by any of the following DUS findings: lack of spontaneous flow (Fig. 24-5), inability to compress the vein (Fig. 24-6), absence of color filling of the lumen by color flow DUS, loss of respi­ratory flow variation, and venous distention. Again, lack of venous compression on B-mode imaging is the primary diag­nostic variable. Several studies comparing B-mode ultrasound to venography for the detection of femoropopliteal DVT in patients clinically suspected to have DVT report sensitivities of >91% and specificities of >97%. The ability of DUS to assess isolated calf vein DVT varies greatly, with sensitivities rang­ing from 50% to 93% and specificities approaching 100%. (See Schwartz 11th ed., pp. 986–987)

13. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is character­ized by which of the following? A. Diagnosis based on prior exposure to heparin with
platelet count <120,000 and/or platelet decline of 40% following heparin exposure
B. Results from heparin-associated antiplatelet antibod-
ies directed against platelet factor 4 complexed with heparin
C. Low incidence in patients with repeat exposure to
heparin
D. Minimal association with thrombotic complications
14. Direct thrombin inhibiting medications include which of the following? A. Warfarin B. Enoxaparin C. Argatroban D. Fondaparinux
Answer: B
HIT results from heparin-associated antiplatelet antibodies (HAAbs) directed against platelet factor 4 complexed with heparin. HIT occurs in 1% to 5% of patients being treated with heparin. In patients with repeat heparin exposure (such as vascular surgery patients), the incidence of HAAbs may be as high as 21%. HIT occurs most frequently in the second week of therapy and may lead to disastrous venous or arterial thrombotic complications. Therefore, platelet counts should be monitored periodically in patients receiving continuous heparin therapy.
HIT is diagnosed based on previous exposure to heparin, platelet count < 100,000, and/or platelet count decline of 50% following exposure. All heparin must be stopped and alternative anticoagulation initiated immediately to avoid thrombotic complications, which may approach 50% over the subsequent 30 days in affected individuals. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 988.)
Answer: C
Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) include recombinant hiru­din, argatroban, and bivalirudin. These antithrombotic agents bind to thrombin, inhibiting the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin as well as thrombin-induced platelet activation. These actions are independent of antithrombin. The DTIs should be reserved for (a) patients in whom there is a high clinical suspicion or confirmation of HIT, and (b) patients who have a history of HIT or test positive for heparin-associated antibod­ies. In patients with established HIT, DTIs should be adminis­tered for at least 7 days, or until the platelet count normalizes. Warfarin may then be introduced slowly, overlapping therapy with a DTI for at least 5 days. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 988.)
CHAPTER 24
Venous and Lymphatic Disease
15. All of the following are components of the treatment of lymphedema EXCEPT: A. Extremity compression and elevation. B. Prophylactic antibiotics. C. Intermittent pneumatic compression therapy. D. Lymphatic massage.
Answer: B Bed rest and leg elevation. Elevation is an important aspect
of controlling lower extremity swelling and is often the first recommended intervention. However, continuous elevation throughout the day can interfere with quality of life more than lymphedema itself. Elevation is an adjunct to lymph­edema therapy but is not the mainstay of treatment.
Intermittent pneumatic compression therapy. The use of IPC with a single-chamber or multichamber pump temporar­ily reduces edema and provides another adjunct to the use of compression stockings. These devices have been shown to be effective in reducing limb volume; however, use of compres­sion stockings is necessary to maintain the volume reduction when the patient is no longer supine because fluid transport is not associated with the transport of macromolecules (pro­teins) from the tissue. Typically, IPC is used for 4 to 6 hours per day at home when the patient is supine, with pressure ranges between 30 and 60 mm Hg demonstrated to be most effective.
Lymphatic massage. Manual lymphatic drainage is a form of massage developed by Vodder that is directed at reducing edema. In combination with the use of compression stock­ings, manual lymphatic drainage is associated with a long­term reduction in edema and fewer infections per patient per year.

CHAPTER 24
Venous and Lymphatic Disease
Antibiotic therapy. Patients with lymphedema are at increased risk of developing cellulitis in the affected extrem­ity due to microscopic breakdown in the skin barrier either secondary to swelling or unrecognized and untreated tinea pedis. Recurrent infection can damage the lymphatics, aggra­vating the edema and increasing the risk for subsequent infection. Staphylococcus and β-hemolytic Streptococcus are the most common organisms causing soft tissue infection. Aggressive antibiotic therapy and elevation with compres­sion are recommended at the earliest signs or symptoms of cellulitis. The drug of choice is penicillin or a cephalosporin active against Streptococcus for 5 days. In patients with recur- rent cellulitis despite methods to reduced edema, treatment with monthly intramuscular injections of benzathine penicil­lin 1.2 MU, twice-daily erythromycin 250 mg, or penicillin V 1 g daily has proven effective at suppression. (See Schwartz 11th ed., pp. 1001–1003.)
16. Mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT) is associated with all of the following EXCEPT: A. MVT is less common in patients with hypercoagu-
lable states, malignancy, or cirrhosis.
B. 5% to 15% of cases of acute mesenteric ischemia
occur as a result of MVT.
C. Patients with MVT are treated with fluid resuscita-
tion, heparin anticoagulation, and bowel rest.
D. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic res-
onance imaging (MRI) are 100% sensitive and 98% specific for MVT.
Answer: A
Five percent to 15% of cases of acute mesenteric ischemia occur as a result of MVT. Mortality rates in patients with MVT may approach 50%. The usual presenting symptom is nonspecific abdominal pain and distention, often accom­panied by nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Peritoneal signs, suggesting intestinal infarction, are present in fewer than half of MVT patients. MVT is more common in patients with a hypercoagulable state, malignancy, and cirrhosis. MVT occurs as a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery.
Most cases of MVT are diagnosed with contrast-enhanced CT scanning or MRI in the course of an evaluation for abdominal pain. The sensitivity and specificity for CT and MRI approach 100% and 98%, respectively. Ultrasound can also be used and has reported sensitivity and specificity of 93% and 99%, respectively.
Patients with MVT are treated with fluid resuscitation, heparin anticoagulation, and bowel rest. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 996.)

The Esophagus and Diaphragmatic Hernia
1. Locations of anatomic narrowing of the esophagus seen on an esophagram include all of the following EXCEPT: A. Lower esophageal sphincter. B. Crossing of the left mainstem bronchus and aortic
arch. C. Thoracic outlet. D. Cricopharyngeal muscle.
2. The cervical esophagus receives its blood supply primar­ily from the: A. Internal carotid artery. B. Inferior thyroid artery. C. Superior thyroid artery. D. Inferior cervical artery. E. Facial artery.
Answer: C
Three normal areas of esophageal narrowing are evident on the barium esophagogram or during esophagoscopy. The uppermost narrowing is located at the entrance into the esophagus and is caused by the cricopharyngeal muscle. Its luminal diameter is 1.5 cm, and it is the narrowest point of the esophagus. The middle narrowing is due to an indentation of the anterior and left lateral esophageal wall caused by the crossing of the left main stem bronchus and aortic arch. The luminal diameter at this point is 1.6 cm. The lowermost nar­rowing is at the hiatus of the diaphragm and is caused by the gastroesophageal sphincter mechanism. The luminal diam­eter at this point varies somewhat, depending on the disten­tion of the esophagus by the passage of food, but has been measured at 1.6 to 1.9 cm. These normal constrictions tend to hold up swallowed foreign objects, and the overlying mucosa is subject to injury by swallowed corrosive liquids due to their slow passage through these areas. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 1010.)
Answer: B
The cervical portion of the esophagus receives its main blood supply from the inferior thyroid artery. The thoracic por­tion receives its blood supply from the bronchial arteries, with 75% of individuals having one right-sided and two left­sided branches. Two esophageal branches arise directly from the aorta. The abdominal portion of the esophagus receives its blood supply from the ascending branch of the left gas­tric artery and from inferior phrenic arteries (Fig. 25-1). On entering the wall of the esophagus, the arteries assume a T-shaped division to form a longitudinal plexus, giving rise to an intramural vascular network in the muscular and submu­cosal layers. As a consequence, the esophagus can be mobi­lized from the stomach to the level of the aortic arch without fear of devascularization and ischemic necrosis. Caution should be exercised as to the extent of esophageal mobiliza­tion in patients who have had a previous thyroidectomy with ligation of the inferior thyroid arteries proximal to the origin of the esophageal branches. (See Schwartz 11th ed., p. 1013.)
