Ambulatory Venous HypertensionComponents
•Obstruction
•Valve incompetence
•Obstruction and valve incompetence…Highest venous pressure…Most severe morbidity
Iliofemoral DVT
Contraindication to Lysis
Yes No
Surgical Thrombectomy + AVF
Anticoagulation
Catheter-directedThrombolysis
Success
Yes
No
• 63 patients: iliofemoral DVT• Thrombectomy + AVF vs. Anticoagulation• Follow-up: 6 mos, 5 yrs, 10 yrs
• Patency– Valve function– Venous hemodynamics– Clinical evaluation

Acute DVT
“…There is no evidence that supports the use of thrombolytic agents for the initial treatment of DVT….”

Buller H, et alChest 2004;126:401S
Recommend against the routine use of catheter-directed thrombolysis (Grade 1C)
…Treatment..[with lytic Rx] .. Be confined to patients requiring limb salvage. (Grade 2C)
Catheter-Directed Lysis Iliofemoral DVT
• Significantly better QOL with lysisPhysical function StigmaHealth distress Post thromb Sx
• Successful lysis correlated w/QOL
• Lytic failures and heparin Rx similar
