Endovascular treatment of ileofemoral thrombosis, recommendations and treatment of chronic blockages
2013
Abstract
Endovascular interventions are gradually becoming a routine therapeutic method in symptomatic patients suffering from acute deep vein thrombosis. Endovascular treatment can be used both to treat the basic disease itself and its complications, such as massive pulmonary embolism.
Endovascular treatment of thrombosis includes not only local application of thrombolytics, but also mechanical thrombectomy or their combination. The correctness of indication of various forms of treatment is sought to be improved and simplified by a system of recommendations.
Stent placement achieves good results in treatment of residual stenosis and chronic occlusions.
