Brief summary

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is the most frequently observed chronic complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), with an estimated cumulative incidence of 20-50%. Endovascular venous recanalization with angioplasty and stenting of obstructive lesions is the recommended treatment option to reduce or correct the symptoms of DVT. However, its impact on the physical capacity and breathlessness of patients has not been fully demonstrated. The heterogeneous evidences of clinical improvement is probably related to the presence or absence of collateral veins developed in these patients with proximal venous obstruction (iliac or iliofemoral with or without inferior vena cava involvement), which ensure the cardiac venous return. The aim of this study is to compare changes in maximal oxygen uptake after endovascular venous recanalization in DVT patients and to evaluate the hemodynamic, respiratory and muscular improvement induced by the restoration of venous flow in the occluded segments.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VO2 maxFrom baseline and 8 weeksChange in VO₂ max is the maximum (max) rate (V) of oxygen (O₂) the body is able to use during exercise from baseline to 8 weeks. It is measured in liters of O2 per minute

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Isowork powerFrom baseline and 8 weeksThe isowork power is the power output assessed at the V'O2max before recanalization
Maximal exercise cardiac output (in litres per minute)From baseline and 8 weeksMaximal exercise cardiac output is the cardiac output assessed by thoracic impedance et peak exercise before and after venous recanalization
Exercise change in Inspiratory capacity (in litres)From baseline and 8 weeksExercise change in Inspiratory capacity is the change between rest and peak exercise of the inspiratory capacity (the volume between end-expiratory volume and total lung capacity) before and after venous recanalization
Maximum aerobic power (in Watts)From baseline and 8 weeksMaximum aerobic power is measured in watts before and after venous recanalization
Maximal exercise O2 arterial pressure (PaO2, in mmHg)From baseline and 8 weeksMaximal exercise O2 arterial pressure is the oxygen partial pressure in the arterial blood, assessed at peak exercise, before and after venous recanalization
Maximal isometric torque during leg extension (in Newton.meters)From baseline and 8 weeksMaximal isometric strength during leg extension is the maximal torque of the leg extension at 90° knee flexion assessed by a torque sensor before and after venous recanalization
Lower limb extracellular/total water (in %)From baseline and 8 weeksLower limb extracellular/total water is the water volume int the body compartments in each lower limb, assessed by a segmental bioelectrical impedancemeter before and after venous recanalization
Maximal exercise capillary volume (in millilitres)From baseline and 8 weeksMaximal exercise capillary volume is the capillary volume at peak exercise assessed by NO/CO transfer before and after venous recanalization
