Retrospective cohort study shows endovascular intervention improves outcomes in patients with acute deep vein thrombosis, indicating potential benefits for clinical practice.
Key Points
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of endovascular intervention in patients with acute inferior deep vein thrombosis while investigating risk factors for postthrombotic syndrome.
Retrospective analysis at C.R. Hospital, Vietnam
Inclusion of patients diagnosed with acute lower limb DVT and treated with EVT
Treatment interventions included thromboaspiration, thrombolysis, balloon angioplasty, and stent placement
Outcomes and complications assessed at 1 week and 1 month post-intervention
37 patients included in the study, mean age 55.8 years
Two cases of bleeding at the intervention site reported
Partial stenosis rates at 1 week and 1 month varied among thrombus locations
62.9% of patients reported no postthrombotic syndrome
Comorbidities and obesity significantly increased the risk of postthrombotic syndrome
