Right Iliofemoral Venous Thrombosis in a Prothrombin 20210GA carrier with Duplicated Inferior Vena Cava. An Unusual Case Report Konstantinos Tigkiropoulos Emmanouil Papadakis Ioannis LazaridisNikolaos Saratzis<p>Venous thromboembolism, presenting as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a disease affected by aging, with a low rate of about 1 per 10,000 annually before the fourth decade of life, rising rapidly after age 45 years, and approaching 5–6 per 1000 annually by age 80. We present the case of a 69-years old woman who presented to our emergency department with unilateral lower limb pain and swelling. Subsequent imaging revealed a right iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis, with associated duplication of her inferior vena cava. Thrombophilic screening revealed a prothrombin 20210A gene mutation. She was treated conservatively with Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) and elastic stockings.</p> International Journal of Vascular Surgery and Medicine - Peertechz Publications 2017-09-04 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5452.000028 en Copyright © Konstantinos Tigkiropoulos et al.
