Effect of a retrievable inferior vena cava filter plus anticoagulation vs anticoagulation alone on risk of recurrent pulmonary embolism: a randomized clinical trial. The patient reported improvement of left leg swelling and pain. Nine months after her initial thrombectomy procedure, she reported mild pain with prolonged standing only, but could run miles without difficulty. At 2 weeks postpartum, persistent compression of the left common iliac vein was confirmed by intravascular ultrasound , compatible with MTS, and an iliac vein stent was placed. Given these findings, her unremitting lower extremity symptoms and risk for PTS, the patient was offered percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy. Acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis: evaluation of underlying anatomic abnormalities by spiral CT venography. BMJ Open 2012; 2: pii e002048. IVCS is caused by the combination of compression and the vibratory pressure of the right iliac artery on the iliac vein that is pinched between the artery and the pelvic bone. A lower extremity ultrasound revealed occlusive thrombus extending from the left calf veins to the left common iliac vein. Young T, Tang H, Hughes R. Vena caval filters for the prevention of pulmonary embolism. Article Ann Intern Med 2005; 143: 697–706. Up to 50% of patients with DVT develop chronic symptoms, known as post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS).5 One of the least recognized risks for the development of DVT is iliac vein compression or the May–Thurner Syndrome (MTS). If low-to-moderate bleeding risk, indefinite therapy. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2013; 209: 433.e1–433.e8. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2008; 19: 377–383. Catheter-directed thrombolysis for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: report of a national multicenter registry. Venous thromboembolism during pregnancy and the postpartum period: incidence, risk factors, and mortality. Percutaneous AngioJet thrombectomy in the management of extensive deep venous thrombosis. In a retrospective study of 56 patients presenting with acute iliofemoral DVT, 45 (84%) patients had evidence of iliac vein compression on CT venography.5 The most well described scenario involves compression of the left iliac vein between the right iliac artery and a vertebral body (May-Thurner syndrome). Mechanical versus chemical thrombolysis: an in vitro differentiation of thrombolytic mechanisms. First, your doctor uses a small balloon to expand the left iliac vein. Treatment of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. Current guidelines favor D-dimer testing in these populations, although ultrasound may be used when comorbid conditions confound the interpretation of a positive result. Watson LI, Armon MP . Interventional Radiology in Women's Health. MacDougall DA, Feliu AL, Boccuzzi SJ, Lin J. Cleveland Clinic is … With the advent of catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy for patients presenting with iliofemoral DVT, the underlying cause has been unveiled and IVCS is gaining recognition. The fresh venous thrombosis were treated by aspiration and thrombectomy, whereas the iliac vein compression per se were treated with a self-expandable stent. Treatments included simple compression therapy (SCT), venous hypertension-relieving therapy (VHRT) and transarterial embolization; VHRT included iliac vein … Stratifying patients according to their pretest likelihood of having this disease is, therefore, a fundamental element of a cost-effective approach to diagnosis. These practices include imaging only during essential portions of the procedure, relying on low-dose fluoroscopy rather than digital subtraction angiography, and careful shielding and coning of the radiation beam.15 Dose-dependent, predictable risks of radiation (nonstochastic risks) include miscarriage, mental retardation, congenital malformations and growth restriction. and JavaScript. Known as phlegmasia cerulea dolens, this life-threatening condition occurs as a consequence of severe venous obstruction. The prevalence of MTS is reported to be 18 to 49% in patients diagnosed with iliofemoral vein thrombosis;6 however, there is a paucity of obstetric literature related to this condition and its therapeutic options.7 We present three patients with MTS complicated by massive left lower extremity DVT managed with percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy during pregnancy. Enhanced chances for long-term patency and the normalization of venous function make these minimally invasive procedures accepted options for the treatment of iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis in … Thrombectomy was performed with a new hydrodynamic catheter (10 F S.E.T.) Long-term complications of DVT include persistent lower extremity edema, venous claudication, hyperpigmentation, and ulceration known collectively as PTS. As for iliac vein thrombosis, our experience with thrombolysis to obtain patency in arterial and venous occlusions as well as what has been published in the literature, led us to select percutaneous therapy with thrombolysis to restore patency to the thrombosed segment, followed by PTA and the placement of an autoexpandable metallic stent to maintain the iliac vein's patency . Ultrasound has been shown to positively augment delivery of lytic enzymes into thrombus and to accelerate thrombolysis in patients with upper and lower extremity DVT24,25 The CAVA trial aims to enroll 180 patients to assess a primary endpoint of PTS at 12 months. Hematologic evaluation was negative for inherited thrombophilias. The patient was discharged home on weight-based enoxaparin with no residual leg pain. Akesson H, et al. To assess the feasibility of a prospective randomized trial of thrombolysis and stenting, we determined the incidence of iliac vein thrombosis and randomization eligibility based on criteria for two ongoing trials. All rights reserved. The constriction of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery occurs when the … She was restarted on weight-based enoxaparin postpartum and discharged home with her newborn on postpartum day 2 in good condition. The Acute Venous Thrombosis: Thrombus Removal With Adjunctive Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis (ATTRACT) trial recently completed enrollment of 692 patients. Prandoni P, Lensing AW, Cogo A, et al. In CVD, the affected veins become markedly atretic, thus impairing appropriate venous drainage, despite the formation of collaterals ( Figure 1 ). Casey ET, Murad MH, Zumaeta-Garcia M, et al. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) offers an important mechanical adjunct to thrombolytic therapy. Guanella R, Ducruet T, Johri M, et al. Delis, K. T., et al. Greenberg RK, Ouriel K, Srivastava S, et al. Many patients with acute deep venous thrombosis also have an iliac (pelvic) vein stenosis (narrowing). In the absence of contraindications, all patients should be treated with therapeutic anticoagulation at the time of diagnosis. The stenosis is popped open by placing a catheter with balloon end At 36 weeks gestation, the patient was transitioned to unfractionated heparin. When used in isolation, PMT is associated with an increased risk of embolic complications, including pulmonary embolism.26,27 However, this risk can be mitigated with the concomitant use of CDT and the incorporation of thrombo-aspiration catheter technology.27,28 In addition to pharmacologic and mechanical removal of a thrombus, catheter-directed therapies can be used to detect and modify venous stenosis through angioplasty and stent implantation. Hilleman DE, Razavi MK . 1.4 Secondary tests (CT or MR venography) are reasonable for cases in which the results of initial diagnostic tests are equivocal or nondiagnostic and there is a high pretest likelihood of DVT (IIa, B, weak, moderate). Background. No bleeding event occurred during the course of treatment. This is a common treatment for May-Thurner syndrome. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2004; 18: CD002783. Prospective long-term follow-up of 528 symptomatic patients. The effective rate of endovascular treatment in NIVL group and PIVL group was 96.88% and 90.15% (P = 0.050), while the cumulative primary patency of iliac vein in NIVL group was significantly higher than that in PIVL group (P = 0.008). Antithrombotic therapy for VTE disease: Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis, 9th ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines. The cases presented in this study add to the literature and demonstrate that MTS should be considered in pregnant patients with extensive left lower extremity DVT. ISSN 1476-5543 (online), Diagnosis and management of iliac vein thrombosis in pregnancy resulting from May–Thurner Syndrome, Venöse Thromboembolien, Thrombophilie und Thromboseprophylaxe in der Geburtshilfe, May-Thurner Syndrome Is Aggravated by Pregnancy, May‐Thurner syndrome: History of understanding and need for defining population prevalence. However, treatment varies depending upon the location of DVT. © 2021 American College of Cardiology Foundation. Although endovascular procedures during pregnancy carry risks of maternal and fetal injury and should be performed in carefully selected patients by physicians with expertise, percutaneous therapies to reduce or resolve extensive thrombosis and relieve the venous compression should be considered in pregnancy-related DVT given the potential for improved symptoms and decreased risk of PTS. Mortality is 0.4% with iliac vein thrombectomy. For example, in cases of isolated distal DVT, ultrasound … unilateral lower extremity swelling represents a lower extremity deep vein thrombosis She was discharged home on hospital day 8 on weight-based unfractionated heparin. Extended therapy with reassessment of risk at periodic intervals (e.g. May–Thurner syndrome (MTS), also known as the iliac vein compression syndrome, is a condition in which compression of the common venous outflow tract of the left lower extremity may cause discomfort, swelling, pain or clots (deep venous thrombosis) in the iliofemoral veins.. Park C, So BJ. Iliofemoral DVT typically affects patients with an anatomic predisposition to venous stasis. Anderson FA Jr, Wheeler HB, Goldberg RJ, et al. Similar cases were also reported by Brodmann et al. The long-term clinical course of acute deep venous thrombosis. PubMed Google Scholar. After Commonly, CVD is caused by either thrombotic aetiologies, such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT), or by non-thrombotic aetiologies, such as in iliac vein compression syndrome (May−Thurner syndrome). A 4-French catheter was then placed over the wire into the left popliteal vein. A recent report demonstrates that surgical or cathether-directed thrombolysis of DVTs during pregnancy can be successful.13 However, open surgical thrombectomy or overnight thrombolytic infusion with the need for repeated fluoroscopic procedures carries serious risks. Physical exam may reveal a palpable cord, ipsilateral edema, erythema, or venous distension. Am J Surg 2006; 192: 782–788. If you have severe venous outflow obstruction from a proximal DVT in the iliac and common femoral veins Thrombolytic Therapy is indicated. Clinical and economic evaluation of the trellis-8 infusion catheter for deep vein thrombosis. Studies have shown reduced rates of recurrent DVT and improved five-year patency in patients with iliofemoral DVT treated with endovenous stenting.29,30 The ATTRACT trial allows for balloon angioplasty and stenting in patients with identified obstructive lesions. The newborn was discharged in good condition on day of life 4 from the newborn nursery. After retievable suprarenal IVC filter placement, left iliofemoral venous thrombectomy was performed requiring 10 mg tissue plasminogen activator delivered locally within the thrombus. At that time she had no recurrence of lower extremity symptoms. The Worcester DVT Study. Endovascular recanalization without embolization of the arteriovenous fistula can effectively treat iliac … Prandoni P, Villalta S, Bagatella P, et al. Correspondence to Berg CJ, Callaghan WM, Syverson C, Henderson Z . Prandoni P. Risk factors of recurrent venous thromboembolism: the role of residual vein thrombosis. Pregnancy-related mortality in the United States, 1998 to 2005. Treatment by recanalizing the left common iliac vein with bare stents was selected over embolizing the arteriovenous fistula, leading to an excellent clinical outcome. Several studies investigating the use of IVC filters in patients with acute DVT have failed to show a benefit with regard to symptomatic PE or mortality, with some data suggesting that IVC filter placement is associated with a higher risk of recurrent DVT, especially if the IVC filter is not subsequently removed.20,21, The use of CDT to treat iliofemoral DVT and mitigate the risk of PTS is currently being investigated. Satiani B, Rustin R, Biggers K, Bordner L. Noninvasive diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis. Wik HS, Jacobsen AF, Sandvik L, Sandset PM . Internet Explorer). Providing anticoagulation, or blood-thinning medicine, is the typical treatment after patients are checked to make sure they are not subject to bleeding. Pulmonary embolism from pulse-spray pharmacomechanical thrombolysis of clotted hemodialysis grafts: urokinase versus heparinized saline. Specifically, the problem is due to left common iliac vein compression by the overlying right common iliac artery. Putting a stent the left iliac vein is a common procedure performed for … A recent analysis of the 1994 to 2009 Nationwide Inpatient Sample reported the trends in venous thromboembolism among pregnancy-related hospitalization.4 The overall rate of hospitalizations for VTE events in pregnancy increased by 14% between 1994 to 1997 and 2006 to 2009 (1.74 to 1.99 per 1000 deliveries).4 Although the rate of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) hospitalization decreased from 1.42 to 1.26 per 1000 deliveries, the rate of hospitalization associated with PE (with or without DVT) increased by 128%. Herrera S, Comerota AJ, Thakur S, Sunderji S, Disalle R, Kazanjian SN et al. As thrombolysis is most effective for acute thrombosis, delaying the procedure until delivery may not be feasible to achieve maximal clot clearance. DeStephano, C., Werner, E., Holly, B. et al.

Lower extremity ultrasound revealed an extensive occlusive thrombus extending from her left calf veins to the left external iliac vein. Angioplasty and a stent. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially life-threatening condition that affects more than 300,000 individuals in the U.S. annually.1 Thrombosis of an iliofemoral vein accounts for ~25% of all lower extremity DVTs and is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary embolism (PE), limb malperfusion, and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) when compared to DVT that occurs below the knee.2-4. Catheter-direct thrombolysis versus pharmacomechanical thrombectomy for treatment of symptomatic lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. Thieme medical publishing: New York, NY, USA, 2009. p16–24. Mismetti P, Laporte S, Pellerin O, et al. CAS Mediated by venous hypertension and valve incompetence arising from persistent iliofemoral obstruction, these sequelae affect up to 50% of patients following an incident iliofemoral DVT and are associated with a reduced quality of life and increased health care expenses.6,8-10 In a retrospective study of 26,958 patients with DVT or PE, the development of PTS was associated with a 32% increase in annualized total health care costs, due in large part to outpatient resource utilization and the management of venous ulcers.11, Many patients who present with lower extremity pain and swelling do not have DVT. Heit JA, Kobbervig CE, James AH, Petterson TM, Bailey KR, Melton LJ 3rd . May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is caused when the left iliac vein is compressed by the right iliac artery, which increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the left extremity. Parikh S, Motarjeme A, McNamara T, et al., Ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis: initial clinical experience. As with any endovascular procedure, the risk of blood vessel injury is present during thrombolysis. At 6 weeks postpartum, she underwent IVC filter removal and stenting of the left common iliac vein after compression on intravascular ultrasound was confirmed. Patients presenting with an iliofemoral DVT associated with severe swelling and vascular compromise of the affected extremity should be considered for CDT in an effort to restore perfusion to the affected limb and avoid limb ischemia. Floating thrombosis is likely to cause PE. The post-thrombotic syndrome: progress and pitfalls. Kinney TB, Valji K, Rose SC, et al. Ascending contrast venography revealed extensive thrombosis of the left popliteal, superficial femoral, deep femoral, common femoral, and external iliac veins. C C DeStephano.

Trends in the incidence of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy or postpartum: A 30-year population-based study. Long-term outcome after additional catheter-directed thrombolysis versus standard treatment for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (the CaVenT study): a randomised controlled trial. intervention. Prognosis is generally poor in iliac vein thrombosis with standard treatment.3 References: * 2. However, extrinsic compression of an iliac vein can occur in either leg and through a variety of mechanisms, including pelvic malignancy or trauma. Broholm R, Sillesen H, Damsgaard MT, et al. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, venography or intravascular ultrasound demonstrate flattening of the iliac vein beneath the artery (Figure 1). https://doi.org/10.1038/jp.2014.38, Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI, USA, Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA, You can also search for this author in Therefore, employing the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle of radiation safety is paramount during these procedures. Eight months after the initial thrombectomy procedure, the patient reported no lower extremity symptoms. This case report details the multidisciplinary treatment of peripartum left iliac vein thrombosis using percutaneous catheter-directed urokinase thrombolysis and balloon thromboplasty. Douketis JD, Crowther MA, Foster GA, Ginsberg JS. The patient had a favorable outcome in one year follow‐up. Importantly, this anatomy can be found incidentally in asymptomatic patients. Patients with unprovoked or recurrent iliofemoral DVTs should be treated indefinitely in the absence of bleeding complications. A clinical trial of vena caval filters in the prevention of pulmonary embolism in patients with proximal deep-vein thrombosis. A delay in initiation of anticoagulation has been associated with an increased risk of life-threatening PE.15 Current guidelines recommend the initial use of a low-molecular weight heparin (e.g., enoxaparin, dalteparin) or fondaparinux, rather than unfractionated heparin, in patients with proximal DVT who are being initiated on warfarin. Despite anticoagulation, 42% of pregnancy-related DVTs result in long-term PTS, which includes pain, swelling or lower extremity ulceration.9 Of women with PTS, 16% reported their ‘health to be bad or very bad’ compared with 6% without PTS; 73% of women with PTS reported significantly more generalized pain versus 27% without PTS.9, In non-pregnant patients, catheter-directed thrombolysis requiring infusion of thrombolytics typically over 1 to 3 days has shown improved outcomes in patients with DVT.5 A Cochrane Review examining thrombolysis versus anticoagulation for acute DVT reported complete clot lysis was more likely (risk ratio (RR)=4.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22 to 14.01) and the development of PTS was less likely (RR=0.66, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.94) in the thrombolysis group.5 A more recent review of the treatment of acute iliofemoral DVT showed that catheter-directed pharmacologic thrombolysis decreased the incidence of PTS and venous obstruction compared with systemic anticoagulation (RR=0.19, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.48).10, With the advent of newer endovascular devices, many patients can be treated in a single pharmacomechanical thrombectomy session without overnight infusion of tissue plasminogen activator. In addition to an anatomic predisposition to venous stasis, the majority of patients with iliofemoral DVT have at least one additional risk factor for venous thrombosis.6 Endothelial injury and hypercoagulability, along with stasis, comprise Virchow's triad of thrombogenesis. The authors declare no conflict of interest. In the vascular and interventional radiology angiography suite, a retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter was placed in a suprarenal location to avoid compression by the gravid uterus. Comerota AJ. common iliac vein. Some patients present with an iliac deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which, after treatment, is typically due to compression of the left iliac vein by the overlying right iliac artery. Siegel RJ, Luo H. Ultrasound thrombolysis. Diagnosis and management of iliac vein thrombosis in pregnancy resulting from May–Thurner Syndrome. Smith SB, Geske JB, Maguire JM, Zane NA, Carter RE, Morgenthaler TI. Studies comparing catheter-directed thrombolysis with pharmacomechanical thrombectomy demonstrate their efficacy to be similar. Among VTE-associated hospitalizations, increased prevalences of cesarean delivery (47.1 to 54.3%), diabetes mellitus (1.5–6.6% to 4.0–9.0%), heart disease (5.4–7.7% to 9.9–16.6%), hypertension (1.6–3.5% to 4.2–10.5%) and obesity (1.4–3.9% to 5.0–8.2%) were reported between 1994 to 1997 and 2006 to 2009. Long-Term Results of Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis Combined with Iliac Vein Stenting for Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis. As swelling progresses, compartment syndrome and arterial compromise can lead to venous gangrene.7 Prompt venous recanalization via catheter-directed thrombolysis and thrombectomy is indicated to prevent limb loss, circulatory collapse, and death. Stenting and Angioplasty. Kearon C, Akl EA, Comerota AJ, et al. Kahn SR. Venous function assessed during a 5 year period after acute ilio-femoral venous thrombosis treated with anticoagulation. While as a result of vein intima defect or direct injury, residual thrombus and the stimulus of the stent, thrombosis may be induced after stent implantation.

Mewissen MW, Seabrook GR, Meissner MH, Cynamon J, Labropoulos N, Haughton SH . Economic burden and cost determinants of deep vein thrombosis during 2 years following diagnosis: a prospective evaluation. Does the location of thrombosis determine the risk of disease recurrence in patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis? Ghaji N, Boulet SL, Tepper N, Hooper WC . In patients with an incident proximal DVT and a reversible risk factor, current guidelines recommend three months of anticoagulation (Table 1).12, Table 1: Duration of Anticoagulation Therapy for Patients With Proximal DVT: Summary of the American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines. Sharifi M, et al., Endovenous therapy for deep venous thrombosis: the TORPEDO trial. If left untreated, this damage can result in valvular incompetence, deep venous reflux and in many cases venous obstruction. Invasive Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention, Congenital Heart Disease and Pediatric Cardiology, Invasive Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention, Pulmonary Hypertension and Venous Thromboembolism. In addition to medication, your doctor may also consider surgical removal of blood clots to decrease the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (chronic leg pain, swelling, redness, and sores). J Vasc Surg 2014; 59: 456–464. Thrombolysis for acute deep vein thrombosis. For example, in some studies with fetal radiation exposure related to maternal occupational exposure of 500 mrem, the risk of childhood cancer or congenital defects is increased by 0.05%.16 It must be emphasized that the risks of fetal radiation, regardless of their magnitude, must be carefully balanced against the risks to the pregnant patient if the intervention is avoided. Her post-procedure course was complicated by partial rethrombosis and partial recurrence of leg pain and swelling; an anti-Xa level was shown to be subtherapeutic and the enoxaparin dose was increased. Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy for treatment of symptomatic lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: safety and feasibility study. In patients with high probability of DVT, a venous ultrasound of the affected limb should be performed.12 While venography remains the gold standard for diagnosis of DVT, ultrasound offers an efficient, noninvasive modality that is more practical in most clinical settings. Stent implantation is considered to be a feasibility, safety, and effective treatment for iliac venous stenosis, demonstrating a good long-term patency rate [ 22, 23, 24 ]. Enden T, Haig Y, Kløw NE, et al. Early anticoagulation is associated with reduced mortality for acute pulmonary embolism. James AH, Jamison MG, Brancazio LR, Myers ER . After starting treatment, his leg edema progressive decreased on a daily basis. The left iliac vein is the main vein ... any symptoms unless it causes deep vein thrombosis ... improving the blood flow in the left iliac vein. Quality-of-life improvement using thrombolytic therapy for iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis. Six weeks postpartum, MTS was confirmed by intravascular ultrasound and the patient underwent definitive stenting of her left common iliac vein stenosis and removal of the suprarenal IVC filter. Angiology 1957; 8: 419–427. Google Scholar. Ionizing radiation has been linked with fetal teratogenesis, miscarriage and mental and growth retardation depending on the gestational age of the fetus at the time of exposure and the absorbed radiation dose. Endovascular treatment of venous occlusive disease. In summary, iliofemoral vein thromboses account for up to 25% of all DVTs and are associated with an increased risk of embolic and post-thrombotic complications when compared to more distal DVTs.2-4 Despite treatment with anticoagulation and compression, over 50% of patients with iliofemoral DVT will develop PTS, a burdensome condition characterized by venous claudication, edema, skin damage, and ulceration.9 PTS occurs as a consequence of a unresolved thrombus that predisposes patients to recurrent DVT, valve incompetence, and venous hypertension.31,32 Early thrombus removal via thrombolysis or thrombectomy offers a means of restoring venous patency and preserving valve function.
