The short-term outcome of residual thrombus of the lower extremity after pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis for deep vein thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to assess the short-term effect of residual thrombus of the lower extremity after pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis (PCDT) on the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and iliofemoral vein patency rate in patients who underwent PCDT.

Methods

There were 94 continuous patients with severe deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities admitted to our hospital between March 2016 and June 2018; 73 cases receiving PCDT and verified with iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) were assigned into two groups. Thirty-nine patients without thrombus of the popliteal and infrapopliteal veins were assigned to the proximal DVT group. The remaining 34 cases were placed in the extensive DVT group. The thrombus scores, including venous re
