Surgical Thrombectomy Followed by Intraoperative Endovascular Reconstruction for Symptomatic Ilio-femoral Venous Thrombosis

Ilio-caval venous obstructions detected intraoperatively can be reconstructed in a one-stage combined procedure. The specific endovascular approach depends on the type of residual venous obstruction. Excellent mid-term results indicate that the proposed thrombectomy classification (TYPE I-IV) and treatment algorithm optimises the results in selected patients with symptomatic venous thrombosis.
