Patients with critical limb ischemia are at a greater risk of developing advanced disease along with chronic total occlusions requiring revascularization to avoid amputation (1). Over the years, different endovascular techniques have been used to cross long chronic total occlusions. Subintima...

Long-Term Results of Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis Combined with Iliac Vein Stenting for Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis

PURPOSE We were going to access the effect of catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy (CDT) on post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and the long term effects of iliac vein stenting in acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (IFDVT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six limbs in fifty-one patients (46 unilateral, 5 bilateral) were included from November 2001 through December 2007. Patients were classified ...
