Effective evaluation and selection are crucial for successful endovascular treatment of patients with post-thrombotic syndrome. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for patients presenting with confounding symptoms.
Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis can lead to post-thrombotic syndrome, a costly and morbid condition. Endovascular treatment is increasingly used for symptomatic relief, but clinical success depends on accurate patient evaluation and selection. This case describes the diagnostic and technical challenges in the care of a complex patient with post-thrombotic syndrome following stroke and extensive deep vein thrombosis. It highlights the multi-disciplinary work-up for a patient with post-thrombotic syndrome presenting with confounding symptoms, as well as the importance of considering alternative access for successful lower extremity venous recanalization.
