Abstrakt:	Background: This study aims to evaluate and compare the outcomes and clinical efficacy of pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMCT) plus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and PMCT combined with CDT and venous stenting in managing acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), while also assessing the long-term safety and efficacy of these interventions. Methods: A retrospective case-control study spanning 3 years involved 112 patients presenting with acute symptomatic iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), each with a symptom duration of less than 14 days. Patients were consecutively categorized into two groups based on individual clinical indications: PMCT + CDT vs. PMCT + CDT + venous stent. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare clinical features and outcomes between the two groups. Additionally, patients were followed up for 24 months post-treatment, during which quality of life (QoL) and severity of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) were analyzed. Results: In this retrospective study, we analyzed a total of 112 consecutive patients, with 63 patients undergoing PMCT + CDT and 49 patients undergoing PMCT + CDT + venous stent. Between the two groups, regarding primary outcomes at 6 months, there was no difference in the observed cumulative patency rates, standing at 82.5% for PMCT + CDT and 81.6% for PMCT + CDT + stent. Survival analyses for primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency yielded comparable results for PMCT + CDT, with p -values of 0.74, 0.58, and 0.72, respectively. The two-year patency rate was high in both groups (85.7% for PMCT + CDT vs. 83.7% for PMCT + CDT + stent). Additionally, during the follow-up period, there were no statistically significant differences observed in the incidence of PTS or the average Villalta score between the two groups. At 24 months post-intervention, the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) was 11.1% in the PMCT + CDT group and 22% in the PMCT + CDT + stent group ( p = 0.381). Both treatment arms of the study groups experienced bleeding complications during the thrombolysis therapy; in the PMCT + CDT group, there were three cases of gastrointestinal bleeding, compared to two cases in the PMCT + CDT + stent group ( p = 0.900). Additionally, there was one intracranial hemorrhage in the PMCT + CDT group and two in the PMCT + CDT + stent group. Conclusions: Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMCT) combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) therapy has shown significant efficacy in alleviating leg symptoms and reducing the occurrence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), including the incidence of moderate-to-severe PTS. On the other hand, the utilization of PMCT + CDT + stent therapy, tailored to individual patients' clinical and venous conditions, may enhance long-term venous patency and lead to superior outcomes, including improved quality of life parameters.
