Figure 2:
A: Just before insertion a catheterization; Vein lumen area was imaged
as anechoic area.
B: Just after completing anticancer administration, and just before the
catheter removal; Two high echo points shown by arrow are upper wall and
lower wall of the catheter. Some high echo points at skin surface are
reflection by a catheter securement film. (Refer B’: Illustration
diagram) There was no anechoic area, instead, vein lumen was imaged as
non-uniform echoic area. It was considered thrombus presence. Also,
uncleared superficial fascia was observed at the surrounding tissue of
the vein. It was considered subcutaneous edema.
C: Post treatment 1 week; Un-uniform echoic area remained in the vein
lumen, and subcutaneous edema at surround tissue of the vein. There was
nothing abnormal detected by palpation.
D: Post treatment 3 weeks; Un-uniform echoic area remained in the vein
lumen, and subcutaneous edema at surround tissue of the vein.
Furthermore, induration was found by palpation in the site.
E: Post treatment 4 weeks; Unechoed area become clear in the vein lumen,
but there was still remain thrombus and subcutaneous edema. Also,
induration remained.
