“…15 Finally, a small randomized trial found that the use of contemporary surgical venous thrombectomy with anticoagulation resulted in better venous patency and reduced PTS than anticoagulation alone. 16 Although this procedure is not likely to be widely adopted due to its invasiveness and dependence upon specialized surgical expertise, this study certainly adds to the evidence favoring aggressive clot removal for DVT.…”

The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) develops in 25%-50% of patients with proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) despite the use of standard anticoagulant therapy and elastic compression stockings. PTS is a major cause of quality of life impairment in DVT patients and often leads to limiting venous claudication, work disability, and venous ulcers. Endovascular thrombolytic procedures that eliminate venous thrombus, restore venous flow, and show strong potential to prevent PTS are now under study in multicenter randomized clinical trials. In addition, endovascular procedures can be used to treat valvular reflux and venous obstruction and thereby provide symptom improvement to patients with chronic established PTS.

“…As discussed above, recurrent VTE is associated with the development of PTS. Finally, small randomized trials have observed the use of contemporary surgical venous thrombectomy and systemic thrombolysis to be associated with reduced PTS rates compared with anticoagulation alone, but at the price of greater invasiveness and more complications, including major bleeding (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42).…”

“…These limitations are due to previous reports of worse outcomes in chronic DVT or with symptoms having 10-21 days in duration [200][201][202][203][204][205][206]. In cases with a bleeding risk, poor general condition, short life expectancy, absence of appropriate equipment or experienced vascular surgeon, conventional anticoagulation may be preferred over high-risk surgery.…”
