Therapeutic concept for acute leg and pelvic venous thrombosis
Abstract:
Combination treatment in acute deep venous thrombosis essentially consists of a highly dosed locoregional thrombolysis of the valve-carrying crurofemoral axis and a mechanical thrombectomy of the valveless pelvic axis by Fogarty catheter. The success of this method is due to the fact that it largely eliminates the disadvantages of systemic thrombolysis, as well as those at conventional surgical thrombectomy, whilst retaining the advantages. Using combination treatment in acute leg and pelvic venous thrombosis within the first 7 days can result in restitutio ad integrum, i.e. complete desobliteration with maintained valve function in more than 80% of the cases.
