Conditions

Iliofemoral Venous Thrombosis

Brief summary

* Iliofemoral DVTs (IF DVTs) are vascular disorders associated with high morbidity and mortality, which can be complicated by long-term post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). * Pharmaco mechanical thrombolysis (PMT) is an innovative endovascular technique involving in situ fibrinolysis of the thrombus in the acute phase of thrombosis, followed by mechanical extraction by fragmenting the thrombus. * The American ATTRACT study showed that management by catheter-directed thrombolysis and/or PMT in the acute phase is safe and effective at 2 years in a subgroup of DVTif compared with anticoagulation (18% moderate or severe SPT with thrombolysis vs. 28% without thrombolysis). * PMT-DVT will be the first study to assess the medium (30 months) and long-term (60 months) efficacy of PMT in the French context, using data from the French National Health Data System.

Detailed description

Patients with acute iliofemoral thrombosis will be included in the study after consent. They will be randomized to pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis combined with anticoagulant therapy with direct oral anticoagulant versus direct anticoagulant therapy alone. They will be monitored, and patients in the anticoagulation-only group may undergo stenting angioplasty in the chronic phase if they present a moderate post-thrombotic syndrome or venous claudication. At the end of 30 months, a medico-economic analysis will be carried out.
