Case study demonstrates that proactive treatment is crucial for good long-term outcomes in DVT patients, suggesting a blended approach is effective.

This research aims to evaluate the outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy in treating proximal deep vein thrombosis.
Individualized treatment approach for a 42-year-old patient with iliofemoral venous thrombosis.
Procedures included aspiration thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, and insertion of an inferior vena cava filter.
Follow-up included assessment for DVT recurrence and post-thrombotic syndrome severity.
Patient initially showed satisfactory results post-thrombectomy but experienced re-thrombosis extending to the inferior vena cava.
Successful catheter-directed thrombolysis resulted in good technical outcomes.
No DVT recurrence was noted during a 12-month follow-up period.

Kuperin et al. (2026) studied this question.
