Popis: Background: Pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis (PCDT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). Assessment and comparison of quality of life (QOL) in patients treated with anticoagulation alone and PCDT need to be elaborated more in the context of better management of patients. The objective of this study was to compare and assess QOL using health-related QOL (HRQOL) which includes short form-36 (SF-36) and VIENES QOL/sym scoring systems in anticoagulation alone group and patients treated with PCDT. Methods: There were 130 consecutive patients presenting to our department with acute iliofemoro-popliteal DVT (IFPDVT) with
