Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the early outcomes in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in the University Medical Center at Ho Chi Minh City. Method: A prospective descriptive cases series study in the patients who had thrombosis at iliac-femoral vein from January 2016 to December 2020. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 65 patients were treated with surgical thrombectomy and 50 patients were treated with percutaneous catheter direct thrombolysis. Results: The mean age was 47.3 ± 15.0 years old. The most common age group is from 40 to 60 years old, accounting for 39.1%. Most of the patients had complete thrombosis on contrast-enhanced CT scan, accounting for 98.3%. 68.7% of patients confirmed the May-Thurner syndrome. There was not any serious complications such as cerebral hemorrhage and postoperative mortality. The failure rate of recanalization was 10.4%%, 7.7% in the surgical thrombectomy group and 14% in the intervention group. 47.8% of patients significantly improved clinical symptom. The most common complication was mild bleeding after surgery, accounting for 12.3%. Conclusion: The treatment intervention method for patients with acute deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities had good early outcomes, signìicantly improved the symptoms.
