Conditions

Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis of Femoral Vein (Disorder)

Brief summary

To evaluate the venous valvular function after pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) for acute femoral-popliteal venous thrombosis.

Detailed description

All patients presenting with symptoms in the lower extremity due to the femoral venous thrombosis involving or not involving iliac and popliteal veins treated with percutaneously pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis via AngioJet devices or anticoagulation alone were included in this study.

Interventions

DEVICEAngioJet device

A device can be used for thrombus aspiration and thrombolysis.

OTHERanticoagulation alone

a medicine for anticoagulation therapy

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with acute symptomatic proximal DVT involving the femoral, and/or popliteal vein, common femoral vein, iliac veins (with or without other involved ipsilateral veins) were enrolled at seven vascular centers in China. Patients were treated with PCDT via Zelante device (Boston Scientific).

Exclusion criteria

* Participants were excluded if they had symptoms for more than 14 days.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Valvular reflux prevalenceat 12 months after procedureProportion of patients with femoral venous valve reflux at 1 year after procedure

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cumulative Incidence of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (Villalta Scale)at 6, 12 and 24 months after procedurePatients who experienced one of the following occurrences in the index leg between the 12 month and 24 month post-randomization follow-up visits, inclusive: 1) Villalta score of 5 or greater; 2) leg ulcer; or 3) late endovascular procedure performed to treat severe venous disease. The Villalta scale ranges from 0-33 points, with higher scores being worse.
