==Overview==
Percutaneous transcatheter treatment of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) includes:
Operative venous thrombectomy can be considered for the treatment of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), mainly when [[catheter directed thrombolysis]] (CDT) and [[pharmacomechanical catheter directed thrombolysis]] (PCDT) can not be performed.<ref name="pmid22315268">{{cite journal |author=Kearon C, Akl EA, Comerota AJ, ''et al.'' |title=Antithrombotic therapy for VTE disease: Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis, 9th ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines |journal=Chest |volume=141 |issue=2 Suppl |pages=e419S–94S |year=2012 |month=February |pmid=22315268 |doi=10.1378/chest.11-2301 |url=}}</ref>
*Thrombus removal with catheter-directed thrombolysis,
*Mechanical thrombectomy,
*Angioplasty,
*Stenting of venous obstructions
 
==Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis==
* Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for acute [[DVT]] has been evaluated in small randomized trials and have shown that it may preserve venous valve function, reduce [[post-thrombotic syndrome]] and improve quality of life. However, evidence regarding mortality, recurrent [[VTE]] and major bleeding is lacking.
* According to ACCP guidelines, patients who may benefit from catheter-directed thrombolysis include:
** Iliofemoral [[DVT]]
** Symptoms < 14 days
** Good functional status
** Life expectancy ≥1 year
** Low risk of bleeding
 
* ACCP recommendations for Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis are:
{{cquote|In patients with acute proximal DVT of the leg, we suggest anticoagulant therapy alone over CDT (Grade 2C).}}
 
==Systemic thrombolysis==
* Systemic thrombolysis has also been shown to reduce the incidence to [[post-thrombotic syndrome]], but with increased risk of bleeding.
* Conditions where systemic thrombolysis may be considered are similar to those mentioned in catheter-directed thrombolysis.
* ACCP recommendations in this regard are:
{{cqoute|In patients with acute proximal DVT of the leg, we suggest anticoagulant therapy alone over systemic thrombolysis (Grade 2C)}}
 
* Further, ACCP recommends using catheter-directed thrombolysis over systemic thrombolysis if resources and expertise is available.
*
 
 
==Mechanical thrombectomy==
{{main|Thrombectomy}}
Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy without concomitant thrombolysis has not been examined in randomized trials and its use is not recommended as it often fails to remove most of the thrombus. It can also dislodge the clot leading to a high-risk of [[pulmonary embolus]].
 
==Inferior vena cava filter==

Overview

Operative venous thrombectomy can be considered for the treatment of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), mainly when catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) and pharmacomechanical catheter directed thrombolysis (PCDT) can not be performed.[1]

Surgery

A single small randomized controlled trial showed that operative venous thrombectomy and anticoagulation therapy may lead to better iliac vein patency and less post-thrombotic syndrome as compared to anticoagulation therapy alone.[2] Operative venous thrombectomy is invasive and requires general anesthesia. It also carries a small risk of pulmonary embolism. Operative venous thrombectomy should be considered only if all of the following criteria are met:[1]

  • Iliofemoral DVT
  • Symptoms < 7 days
  • Good functional status
  • Life expectancy ≥1 year
