Rheolytic Thrombectomy For Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis Of Whole Lower Limb

After randomization patients will be allocated to pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) via ipsilateral popliteal venous approach or to PMT via distal calf venous approach, bail-out contralateral femoral access can be used if puncture was failed in calf vein. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus was reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) was conducted if there was residual thrombus. Stenosis of iliac vein was assessed by multiangle venography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used if necessary. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) was conducted if there was \>50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein. A stent was placed if the residual stenosis was \>50% after PTA treatment.
