Long-Term Outcome of Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Pregnancy-Related Venous Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VT) is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) is an effective and safe treatment modality for VT patients. However, the long-term outcome of CDT in pregnancy-related venous thrombosis are unclear. The aim of this study was to assess long-term results of pregnancy-related VT patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 41 pregnancy-related deep venous thrombosis (DVT) patients who underwent CDT from February 2008 to May 2015. Clinical data, including demographic variables, disease location, vascular risk factors, treatment regimen, interventional procedure and complications, were collected retrospectively. Clinical and color-duplex ultrasonography were performed to monitor venous patency during fol
