Predictive factors for complete recovery of post-thrombotic syndrome 6 months after venous recanalization.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Endovascular recanalization is considered for severely symptomatic patients with post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) to alleviate symptoms. However, data on complete recovery and its predictors remain limited. This study aimed to assess persistent PTS 6 months after venous recanalization and identify predictive factors.

Design

Single-center retrospective outcome-oriented cohort study.

Methods

We reviewed electronic medical records of patients referred for endovascular venous recanalization between January 1, 2015, and September 30, 2019. Inclusion criteria were PTS defined by a Villalta score of ≥5 or a leg ulcer ≥6 months after a deep vein thrombosis episode. Complete PTS recovery was defined as a Villalta score of <5.

Results

Sixty-seven patients (median
