Impact of Endovascular Treatment on the Development of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome in Iliac and Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), with significant clinical and quality-of-life implications. Endovascular techniques have emerged as potential strategies to reduce PTS severity in selected patients, though evidence remains inconclusive. Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study including 176 patients with iliac or iliofemoral DVT from four hospitals in Murcia, Spain. Patients were treated either with anticoagulation alone (n = 121) or with endovascular techniques followed by anticoagulation (n = 55). The primary outcome was the presence of PTS at 12 months, defined by the presence of ≥5 signs/symptoms from the Villalta scale. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify indepen
