Guidance for the prevention and treatment of the post-thrombotic syndrome

TL;DR: This work suggests that selecting patients for catheter-directed thrombolytic techniques be done on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on patients with extensive thrombosis, recent symptoms onset, and low bleeding risk, who are seen at experienced hospital centers.

Ultrasound-Assisted Versus Conventional Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for Acute Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis

TL;DR: In this randomized controlled clinical trial of patients with acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis treated with a fixed-dose catheter thrombolysis regimen, the addition of intravascular ultrasound did not facilitate thrombus resolution.

Determinants and Time Course of the Postthrombotic Syndrome after Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis

TL;DR: The postthrombotic syndrome occurs frequently after acute venous thrombosis, and patients with extensive DVT and those with more severe postthROMbotic manifestations 1 month after DVT have poorer long-term outcomes.
