AbstractObjectivesThe long-term outcome of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in patients with acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis (IFVT) is evaluated in this study.Material and methodsPatients presenting for treatment with IFVT between June 1999 and May 2007 were considered for treatment using CDT. The following inclusion criteria were used: first episode of IFVT, age below 60 years, age of thrombus <14 days and open distal popliteal vein. Ultrasonography (US) was used to verify the diagnosis.
