Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess whether catheter directed thrombolytic therapy for the treatment of IFDVT can safely and effectively reduce post thrombotic morbidity after one year.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to study whether catheter directed thrombolytic intervention has a positive effect on the quality of life of patients with IFDVT and to assess late PTS.;Primary end point(s): Percentage of patients with PTS characterized by a Villalta-Prandoni score = 5 on two consecutive occasions of at least 3 months apart, or presence of a venous ulcer one year following the acute thrombotic event. (Villalta-Prandoni: score 5-9 = mild PTS, score 10-14 = moderate PTS, score = 15 or venous ulcer = severe PTS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Month 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 after inclusion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) based on scorings on SF-36, EuroQOL-5D, VEINES-QOL/Sym and pain disability index (3, 6 and 12 months after the event) Late PTS during follow-up Recurrent venous thrombo-embolisms (VTE): DVT (measured by Compression ultra sonography (CUS)) or pulmonary embolism (PE) during follow-up Clot lysis, patency (measured by MRA-Vasovist during baseline visit and after 12 months, which shows the occlusion percentage of all visualized veins). Measurements of markers of coagulation (INR, fibrinogen, aPTT) and inflammation (CRP, leucocytes) at the baseline visit, during treatment visit and 12 months after the event. Safety outcome: Bleeding events during anticoagulant therapy. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Questionaires: baseline, month 3,6,12,24,36,48 Late PTS during follow-up: month 3,6,12,24,36,48 CUS/PE: Baseline Clot lysis, patency: baseline, after 12 months coagulation/inflamation markers: baseline, month 3,6,12,24,36,48 Bleeding events: baseline, month 3,6,12,24,36,48
