Envisioning acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombolysis jockeying on the horse of interventional radiology: A systematic review

Abstract

Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is a venous disease which develops in lifestyles involving sedentary postures or where the individual works in a sitting or standing posture for prolonged periods of time. The incidence of this disease has been increasing recently owing to preference of sedentary lifestyles in the modern world. Coming onto the frontiers of its diagnosis and treatment, either conservatively or surgically, minimally invasive treatment involving interventional radiological perspectives has been catching much attention lately as it has been observed to deliver acceptable results in terms of the quality of life of the patients as well as thrombus clearance within the affected venous vasculature. This draft houses a systematic review of articles dwelling over the aspect of various treatment techniques and studies on deep venous thrombolysis incorporating interventional radiological aspects.
