Catheter-directed thrombolysis for<br />
lower extremity DVT: Report of a<br />
national multicenter registry<br />
Mewissen MW, Seabrook GR, Meissner MH, et al. Radiology 211:39-49, 1999.<br />
The Venous Registry described treatment of 303 limbs in 287<br />
patients with acute and chronic lower extremity DVT treated with<br />
urokinase (mean, 7.8 million U and 53.4 hours), the overall complete<br />
and partial lysis rate was 83% with a 1-year patency rate of 60%.<br />
Patients with complete lysis had higher 1-year patency rate (79%).<br />
Iliofemoral thromboses fared significantly better than<br />
femoropopliteal thromboses (no iliac involvement) with 1-year<br />
patency rates of 79% and 64%, respectively.
