Clinical Observation of Uninterrupted Thrombolytic Therapy via Indwelling Catheter for Lower Limb Deep Vein Thrombosis

Abstract

Purpose Observe uninterrupted thrombolytic therapy via indwelling catheter for lower limb deep vein thrombosis. Methods We retrospectively studied data from 32 patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis who received comprehensive treatment, consisting of general treatment, inferior vena cava filter implantation, interventional thrombolysis, angioplasty, stenting, and post-operative monitoring. Results The efficacy and safety of the comprehensive treatment were observed for a follow-up period of 6–12 months. The treatment was 100% effective; patient results indicated no serious bleeding, acute pulmonary embolism, or death after surgery. Conclusion The combination of intravenous and healthy side femoral vein puncture and directed thrombolysis to treat acute lower limb deep vein thrombosis is safe, effective, and minimally invasive while still achieving a good therapeutic effect.
