Abstract:
As an alternative to thrombolysis, a patient with recent rethrombosis of the right iliac vein was successfully recanalized by using a 5 F rheolytic catheter system. The patient had undergone bilateral stent recanalisation of the pelvic veins after iliocaval thrombosis due to retroperitoneal fibrosis three months earlier.
