Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Patients with acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis often sustain severe postthrombotic complications resulting from venous obstruction and valve incompetence. Conventional anticoagulation prevents thrombus extension, fatal pulmonary embolism, and recurrence of the DVT but can only minimally minimize the postthrombotic complications. Whether early thrombus removal significantly reduces the postthrombotic morbidity is an important question involving the treatment of these patients. We will introduce the rationale and evidence supporting early thrombus removal for acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis and the development and current status of catheter-directed thrombolysis and adjunctive percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy or pharmacomechanical thrombolysis, which are usually the first line of therapy for early removal of an acute thrombus in the proximal veins of the leg. In addition, we briefly introduce the development of new pharmacologic agents. |
