AGUILA MARQUEZ, Roberto  y  OCHOA ARMENDARIZ, Liza. Endovascular treatment of post-thrombotic syndrome. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.4, pp.261-265. ISSN 1870-7203.

Post-thrombotic syndrome causes a decreased quality of life in patients who suffer from it. Only 33% of the cases with proximal vein thrombosis are solved through anticoagulation. In this article, venoplasty techniques and venous “stenting” are presented, as well as the material for recanalization of chronic occlusions of the deep venous system in iliocaval, iliofemoral and femoropopliteal sectors. Endovascular therapy currently represents a fundamental tool for the treatment of post-thrombotic syndrome, as it is a minimally invasive, safe and proven procedure. However, this therapy requires highly trained subspecialists.

Palabras llave : Post-thrombotic syndrome; venous “stenting”.
