Short-term results of catheter-directed intrathrombus thrombolysis versus anticoagulation in acute proximal deep vein thrombosis

Abstract

Duplex ultrasound analysis of thrombus progression is useful for assessing the treatment of a patient with acute proximal DVT. In this study, patients undergoing CDT experienced higher thrombus resolution and early recanalization of their veins, which may preserve venous function and further prevent development of post-thrombotic syndrome.
