Abstract:
Endovascular DVT therapy has historically been directed at patients with the most extensive DVT. As evidence has been developed to support the use of catheter-directed thrombolysis for iliofemoral DVT, interventional radiologists are increasingly being referred patients with DVT that is anatomically less severe. In this article, we outline the key considerations that should be weighed in determining whether or not to provide aggressive therapy to patients with DVT limited to the femoropopliteal veins.
