Overview
Operative venous thrombectomy can be considered for the treatment of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), mainly when catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) and pharmacomechanical catheter directed thrombolysis (PCDT) can not be performed.[1]
Surgery
A single small randomized controlled trial showed that operative venous thrombectomy and anticoagulation therapy may lead to better iliac vein patency and less post-thrombotic syndrome as compared to anticoagulation therapy alone.[2] Operative venous thrombectomy is invasive and requires general anesthesia. It also carries a small risk of pulmonary embolism. Operative venous thrombectomy should be considered only if all of the following criteria are met:[1]
- Iliofemoral DVT
- Symptoms < 7 days
- Good functional status
- Life expectancy ≥1 year
