Abstract

The aim of this descriptive study is to evaluate the outcome of post-thrombotic syndrome(PTS) treatment. During 12 months, nineteen cases were included. All of cases were seen at hig grade of severity (from C3 to C6s in CEAP classification ) which rate of venous ulcer accounted for 26,3% and 68,4% of cases were scored above 10 marks in VCSS scoring. The treatment was combination of conservative medication, wound care, compression stocking and endovascular recanalization. Statiscally, there was a decrease in VCSS scoring which the pre-treatment and post-treatment mean-score were 12.1 and 9.84, respectively. Ulcer healing was occured in 4/5 cases (80%). Venous edema and troubles in wearing stocking seemed to be the chief complants after 3-month, since the residual edema rate and the stocking dependence rate were high (63% and 78,9%, respectively). Endovascular reconstruction should be efficient method and promising in symptom alleviation and QoL improvement.
