  • Title: [Bilateral deep venous thrombosis and vena cava aplasia treated with local thrombolysis].
    Author: Pelta AM, Jørgensen M, Just SR, Jensen LP.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2008 May 19; 170(21):1849. PubMed ID: 18492458.
    Abstract:
    In this case report the treatment of a young man with bilateral iliaco-femoral DVT and vena cava aplasia is presented. The patient was treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis; the catheters were introduced in the thrombus of both legs via v. popliteae. The treatment led to almost complete thrombus resolution and no valvular incompetence at three months follow-up. In our opinion this treatment should be offered even in complex cases of acute proximal deep venous thrombosis.
