Efficacy of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Preventing Post-Thrombotic Syndrome in Acute DVT: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Background  Lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with significant morbidity and death. DVT can result in complications such as postphlebitic syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and death. Combining pretest probability, D-dimer testing, and compression ultrasound imaging enables a safe and convenient study of suspected lower-extremity thrombosis. This study aimed to assess the expanding body of research supporting thrombectomy as a form of DVT therapy. Materials and Methods  A retrospective study was performed on individuals with venous Doppler-confirmed DVT and occlusive thrombus. Four-hundred fifty-one consecutive patients were selected for the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this investigation, thrombectomy was the preferred therapeutic appr
