Abstract
In 35 Chinese patients suffering from strokes resulting in hemiparesis or hemiplegia, deep venous thrombosis, as detected with 125I-fibrinogen scan, occurred in the paralysed leg in five and in the normal leg in one. The total incidence of 17% was lower than that reported in the West. No clinical evidence of pulmonary embolism was seen. This report represents an objective confirmation of the low incidence of venous thrombosis in the Chinese.Keywords
