  • Title: Percutaneous therapy of acute on chronic lower extremity venous occlusive disease.
    Author: Sharifi M, Mehdipour M.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2010 Apr 01; 75(5):685-9. PubMed ID: 20101598.
    Abstract:
    Venous thromboembolic disease is an underdiagnosed disease spectrum with a high mortality and morbidity. Despite significant advances in cardiovascular interventions, venous occlusive disease has not received the attention it deserves from the interventional cardiology community. We describe an 82-year-old man with massive left lower extremity DVT who underwent successful percutaneous endovenous intervention (PEVI) with rapid resolution of symptoms. We like to use this case as a call to action and raise awareness of the importance of PEVI in the treatment of extensive venous occlusive disease.
