| Abstrakt: |
Thrombolytic therapy is an effective method for reopening an occluded venous segment, but little is known about the long-term results of thrombolysis via direct intravenous route for axillary subclavian vein thrombosis (ASVT). Our experience with 13 cases of primary ASVT illustrates the possible advantages of a protocol consisting of lytic therapy, surgical decompression and percutaneous balloon angioplasty if a high-grade stenosis persists. If accompanied by adjunctive therapy to correct the underlying cause, thrombolytic therapy for ASVT results in acceptable long-term symptom relief and vein patency. |
