Endovascular Intervention for Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Peripheral Endovascular Interventions

Abstract

DVT is the third most common cardiovascular disease in the United States with 600,000 cases reported annually, resulting in more than 100,000 deaths [1, 2]. Clinical sequelae of DVT are significant in both the acute and chronic settings. Initial consequences include acute lower extremity symptoms, risk of pulmonary emboli, and death. Long-term consequences include recurrent DVT, lower extremity venous hypertension, claudication, pain, swelling, and ulceration which can result in significant post-thrombotic morbidity [3–7].
