Resumo

Resumo: A trombose venosa superficial (TVS), também denominada de tromboflebite superficial, caracteriza-se pela formação de trombos dentro de veias superficiais, com suboclusão ou oclusão da luz e reação inflamatória no seu trajeto, sendo mais comum nos membros inferiores. Afeta de 3 a 11% da população geral. O diagnóstico costuma ser clinicamente fácil, mas sua extensão e possíveis complicações tromboembólicas precisam de exames subsidiários para confirmação. A TVS pode estar associada a trombose venosa profunda em 6 a 40% dos casos, a embolia pulmonar assintomática (EP) em 20 a 33%, e a EP sintomática em 2 a 13%. Apesar de sua morbidade e das suas complicações, ainda não existem diretrizes brasileiras para a TVS. Nesta diretriz, foram analisadas as principais dúvidas quanto à definição, terminologia e etiologia da TVS, com recomendações para seu diagnóstico e tratamento.

Abstract

Abstract: Superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) or superficial thrombophlebitis is characterized by thrombi within superficial veins, with partial involvement or occlusion of the lumen and inflammatory reaction along the course of the vein. Clinical diagnosis tends to be straightforward, but supplementary tests and examinations are needed to confirm thrombosis extension and possible thromboembolic complications. SVT can be associated with deep venous thrombosis in 6 to 40% of cases, with asymptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) in 20 to 33%, and with symptomatic PE in 2 to 13%. Despite the morbidity and complications, there are currently no Brazilian guidelines for SVT. These guidelines cover the most important issues related to SVT definition, terminology, and etiology, and set out recommendations for diagnosis and treatment.
