Overview
Presence of a residual thrombus doubles the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism and Post-thrombotic syndrome[1][2].
Rapid clot lysis may prevent:
- Valvular reflux
- Venous obstruction
- Recurrent VTE
- Post-thrombotic syndrome
Types
- Systemic Thrombolysis
- Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis
- Percutaneous Mechanical, and Pharmacomechanical Thrombolysis
- Thrombolysis in Pediatric Patients
