    Surgical thrombectomy effectively treats ileofemoral venous thrombosis. This procedure yielded excellent long-term results in 82% of patients, demonstrating its efficiency in managing this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Thrombosis Management
    • Phlebology

    Background:

    • Ileofemoral venous thrombosis presents with varying degrees of venous congestion, including phlegmasia alba dolens and phlegmasia coerulea dolens.
    • Surgical intervention is considered for severe cases of ileofemoral venous thrombosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of surgical thrombectomy for ileofemoral venous thrombosis.
    • To assess the long-term results and complication rates associated with the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-eight patients with confirmed ileofemoral venous thrombosis underwent surgical thrombectomy using a Fogarty venous thrombectomy catheter.
    • Peroperative phlebography was utilized to ensure complete thrombus removal.
    • Postoperative management included continuous heparin infusion followed by dicumarol therapy.

    Main Results:

    • No operative pulmonary embolism or mortality was observed.
    • Excellent long-term results were achieved in 82% of patients, with satisfactory outcomes in 14%.
    • Thrombectomy was not feasible in two patients, one of whom developed a severe postthrombotic syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical thrombectomy is an efficient and effective treatment for ileofemoral venous thrombosis.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate with favorable long-term outcomes.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for optimal results.
