    Author: Liu B, Huang WL.
    Journal: Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao; 2003 Jun; 23(6):631-2, 635. PubMed ID: 12810399.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of catheter-directed thrombolysis in the treatment of iliofemoral vein thrombosis. METHODS: Thirteen cases of iliofemoral vein thrombosis were treated by urokinase administered in the forms of large bolus doses, medium-dose intra-catheter infusion and small-dose intervenous injection in succession. The average time of intra-catheter drug administration was 18 h, with the average dose of urokinase of 3.31x10(6) U. RESULTS: Partial recanalization was achieved in all the cases and the rate for complete recanalization reached 84.6%. The clinical symptoms of the patients were significantly improved after treatment without serious complications. CONCLUSION: Catheter-directed thrombolysis is safe and effective for treating iliofemoral vein thrombosis.
